>The multiple isp problem remains an unresolved issue. Being new to Linux, I haven't learned bash or any of the scripting shells. One of the things I want to do, is have a timeout in my ppp0 dial up, where as if it fails on one isp, say 5 times in a row, it dials the second isp and restarts the script.
The logic would be: (in a made up language) loop=0 :start dial ips1 loop++ if (valid isp1) goto end if loop <=5 goto start loop=0 :start2 dial ips2 loop++ if (valid isp2) goto end if loop <=5 goto start2 goto start :end ipchains yada yada ipfwadm yada yada I do this in NT currently with no issues - but I have a program to do so. At the rate I'm going, give me a month to have something that works for you guys to lobotomize. I bougt several books on shell commands.
