Re: poff quesition.....
Yes; but /usr/local/bin should precede /usr/bin and /bin.

poff quesition.....
Hello, I've got a script which is meant to be run just before closing my ppp connection. I'd thought of putting it in /etc/ppp/ip-down.d, but those scripts seem to be run *after* the ppp link goes down. Instead, it seems that my script should be incorporated into (or called by) poff. Should I put my command(s) at the very to of /usr/bin/poff, or is there a more appropriate location? Thanks, --David -- === David Karlin mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://funk48.home.travelin.com Powered by Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 ===

Yes. But what is the problem? a) make /usr/local/bin the first entry in $PATH or b) make a shell alias poff=/usr/local/bin/poff or c) use a different name for your version. Ciao, Martin
