Since the ip-down script run *after* the link goes down, you obviously can't put the script there. I have something similar, so I can ftp files to/from my machine at work. I wrote wrapper scripts around pon and use a cron job's to automatically start and stop the links during business hours. You'll probably want a wrapper script to ftp that you're no longer online that *waits* for the job to finish and then brings down the connection. -- +----------------------------------------------------+ | Eric G.
