Ok here is my setup: 56k dial-up, phone gets disconnected semi-often (call waiting,peeps picking it up) I want a script that will (thru cron) check every thirty minutes if ppp is connected or not, if not it will dial via "ppp -ddial isp" if it is, it will exit and then in half in hour (thru cron again) check and basically do same thing... My question: Is there a program/script readily available for this kinda thing? How do I check if ppp is connected or not? Inside cron, what is the exact setup ? (Under minutes just put 30, everything else * ?) ty. --- www.nul.cjb.net --- The Power to Crash! --- www.FreeBSD.org --- The Power to Serve!
