Thanks! I can now disable / enable eth1 in a script without needing my password, but it's not working quite the way I need it to work yet. The first line in the script is 'sudo ifconfig eth1 down' and the last line is '... up.' These are working as expected, except that the last line does not actually connect to eth1. I still have to use the GUI to reconnect to eth1. Note that this is a trivial matter; if I have to stop and reconnect to eth1 once a day it is not the end of the world. But scripts are supposed to automate things, so getting this thing to work the way I want it to is a point of honor. Note also that I do not really need to completely disable eth1; all I need to do is disconnect / reconnect it. I was using '... down' and '... up' just because I couldn't find a command to just disconnect and reconnect. I read the man pages for ifconfig, ifup and interfaces, but I didn't find a way to automatically connect eth1. Of course, I didn't understand everything that I read, so what I am looking for might still be in there. Also, when I reboot my computer it automatically brings up and connects eth1. Shouldn't it automatically connect to it with the '... up' command? Maybe I just need to fix something in the parameters of eth1, or maybe the router? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
