Hello, I am connecting and disconnecting to the net over a modem line. My ISP gives dynamic IPs. I want to upload the IP that I get from my ISP to a website so that my friends can come to know if I am online. I also want to upload the information that I am going offline when I disconnect. I have put up a script that finds the IP allotted by grepping "P-t-P" line in the ppp0 section of ifconfig output. The script resides in ip-up.d dir and hence gets executed. The script also ftp's the necessary info as html file to my website. But when I disconnect I can execute another script in ip-down.d because I use 'kill `cat /var/run/ppp0.d`' which is not a proper downing of route ppp0.
What is the best way to down the ppp link so that my ip-down script gets executed? -gnana PS: any existing scripts for the above purpose would be helpful too.
