Well bugger me with a fish-fork! You got it Jeff. I didn't suspect the script because it returned fine on the command line, but you're right. The ampersand hits it on the spot. In fact you're right on two counts: 'ifup ppp0 &' works as well! I was trying to stick to the Redhat way, which admittedly is quite a 'clean' way of doing it, but if we have a possible broken script (not blaming anyone), than we're going to have to do it the manual way. Oh well, as long as I make a note in the documentation and it works who really cares? Thanks for all your help. Shoulda probably seen that myself, but I've never played with scripting, so I wasn't sure what I'm looking at. Really appreciated.
