Difficult to say without seeing the actual scripts, but my hunch would be that some environment variable(s) is different when run "by hand" and when run from if-up. The first candidate would be, of course, PATH. If you call ipcheck from the shell script just like "ipcheck.py", then the shell looks for it in all places indicated by $PATH. As a first test, try putting the call with the full path like so: /usr/local/bin/ipcheck.py (replace the path by the correct one in your case). hth - -- tomás -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlV//sEACgkQBcgs9XrR2kZtHwCcDQNR0Y3raMAAGCEMLHaH3Mn4 Wz4AmwYSHBaTJbLdfFai4mhmQmOhFeTT =dpWB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
