Hi,
[Snip diald dialing unnecessarily stuff]
It might be better to find out what's causing the dialling in the first
place, but you an restrict diald to stay down (or up, for that matter)
by using the restrict directive in /etc/diald.conf.
e.g.
restrict 20:00:00 23:59:59 * * *
down
restrict * * * * *
Will restrict diald not to bring the line up between 8pm and
midnight. If you want to specify more than one time period (ie past
midnight) you have to use or-restrict. e.g. Our diald connection is
forced down between 8pm and 6am with
restrict 23:00:00 23:59:59 * * *
or-restrict 00:00:00 05:55:00 * * *
down
restrict * * * * *
at the start of diald.conf. The last line is necessary to make diald
behave in 'on-demand' mode for times outwith the restriction.
The trailing *'s mean something, but I can't remember what.
man diald will tell you more.
Regards,
Iain
