Hi Gary, It is a persistent link using pppd with ppp-watch to keep the link up
IE: the box boots, it dials the connection. the line ONBOOT="yes" is present in ifcfg-ppp0 This box is NOT running X, it is a server with a modem line as a private link to a second network. I assume those files are being called, they have reference to stats-routes in them, but I don't know the format for the data to put into /etc/sysconfig/static-routes Rgds, dDrryl At 08:43 PM 4/10/2001, you wrote: >Hi Darryl, > >how are you controlling the ppp link - directly, via kppp or some other route? > >If you do it directly, pppd will call /etc/ppp/ip-up after the link is >established, and /etc/ppp/ip-down after the link has dropped. > >If you are using kppp, it has similar facilities in the config dialog. > >Other ppp wrappers should have similar facilities. > >Gary > >On Thursday 04 October 2001 10:47 am, Darryl Harvey wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I need a route added to my system each time the ppp0 network comes up. > > > > The command I issue to add the route is; > > route -v add -host xxx.xx.xx.xx gw IP.of.ppp0.xxx dev ppp0 > > > > If I add this route manually, it works fine..
