I think it says in ip-up (the sript, not the directory) that all of the scripts are run with minimal (or even no) environment. So DISPLAY probably IS set, but ip-up is run without any of these variables. The wierdness here is not X or linux in general. It's the way pppd and ip-up work.

1999-03-22 Thread Daniel Mashao
My ip-up.d directory is not executed when pppd wakes up. How can I debug this condition. I have tried putting in simple things like xload in the directory but they do not get executed. I am able to execute the contents of the directory if I run ./ip-up file in the /etc/ppp directory but not when
