ppp-on INVISIBLE
Hi all - I am trying to setup my ppp connection as explained in the PPP-HOWTO and have run into a brick wall. I can bring up the connection manually via minicom and pppd command line ande it check out fine. However ... when i try to automate the process using the ppp-on ppp-on-dialer and ppp-off scripts, i get the message ppp-on: No such file or directory. I have tried activating the script with the full path .. i.e. /etc/ppp/scripts/ppp-on and also placing the scripts in the /sbin directory. Same result both ways. The script file permissions are set to -rwxr-xr-x. I am probably making a silly newbie mistake, but i can't find it. Suggestions please?

Re: ppp-on INVISIBLE
Why don't you use the debian-provided pon and poff scripts? They pretty much do the same thing. See /usr/doc/ppp/README.debian.gz among other files in that directory.

Re: ppp-on INVISIBLE
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Gerald Wann) writes: scripts, i get the message ppp-on: No such file or directory. What is the first line of the file? Is it: #!/bin/sh If it is something else, does the program listed in the first line of the ppp-on script exist? (ie. in the case above, does /bin/sh really exist?) This error (assuming that the ppp-on exists) usually means that the first line of the script is wrong and points to something that isn't there or it points to the wrong place for something (/bin/ instead of /usr/bin?)
