My first attempt at this was to add these lines to the scripts: # These variables are for the use of the scripts run by run-parts PPP_IFACE="$1" PPP_TTY="$2" PPP_SPEED="$3" PPP_LOCAL="$4" PPP_REMOTE="$5" export PPP_IFACE PPP_TTY PPP_SPEED PPP_LOCAL PPP_REMOTE run-parts /etc/ppp/ip-up.d Any better suggestions ?
