The first thing that comes to mind is to put them in crontab right
above any lines that run scripts.
Or maybe in the scripts that crontab runs
You might want to cut down on the number of programs called and call only one
program. The one true `awk'. .. hehe
If your output looks something like this:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:E8:90:99:20
inet addr:206.117.4.160 Bcast:206.117.4.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:71908 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:61082 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:29 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:9 Base address:0xdc00
Only with ppp0 or whatever in place of eth0 then this will do the
first job:
DYNIPADDR=`\
/sbin/ifconfig|awk '/^eth0/ {a=1}\
/UP BROAD/ {a = 0}\
a==1 && /inet addr/{sub(/addr:/,"",$2);print $2}'`
Replacing ^eth0 with ^ppp0 should work for a ppp0 interface.
I think putting that variable assignment at the top of crontab will do
what you want.
Probably something similar possible for the P-t-P but I don't have
that output.
