Re: pon - When am I connected?
I just start a ping to a known good ip number and wait until it starts getting the pings back. Once they come back I know the ppp conection is up and alive.

Thanks Ian Besides plog, you can also use ifconfig to tell when ppp0 connection is made. -- Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

pon: When am I connected
Linux Journal June 98 has an article on a user interface for starting and stopping PPP connections. The entire article is on line as also the scripts that you need to set up your system. The author has described his Slackware configuration (3.4, I think). It was not that difficult to set it up under Debian 1.3.1. The UI is implemented as Wish scripts. The article describes how to create a button for your desktop under fvwm95. (Works for fvwm2 also). Clicking on the button will open a window which shows what is happenning with your PPP connection. When the connection is successfully established, the window collapses to the button. You see a clock that tells you the up time of your connection. A Quit button is also seen, which when pressed will disconnect. I am able to run this as a general user. Point to http://www.ssc.com/lj/previous and look for PPPui: A Friendly GUI for PPP, by Nathan Myers.

RE: Pon - when am i connected?
You can use the ip-up and ip-down scripts located in /etc/ppp. The ip-up script is run when a ppp connection is successfully made. Parameters are passed to this script that can be used to echo the connection data wherever you want (tty, ttyp0, etc). You can use ip-down script to display a message when the connection is brought down. I also have a couple of lines in these scripts to place a date/time entry into a file to keep track of my logons/logoffs. -- tony mollica [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
