It appears that the scripts in ip-up.d are not

/etc/ppp/ip-up script runs, but the
'run-parts /etc/ppp/ip-up.d' line doesn't execute.

You need to put executable shell scripts in there. So your file

Hi all,
In my ip-up, I have a line
run-parts /etc/ppp/ip-up.d
So I put a file called fetchmail with a single line fetchmail.
I also made it executable.
But when my link is up, nothing happened. I tried to ps ax the
process. It is not there. I
To all who replied so helpfully, thanks. I now have a working setup.
Basically, the simplest solution for me is to add the "idle" option to
my ppp options, to hangup the line when there is no more activity.
A number of people suggested diald - it certainly looks good, and I may
well look into it

Actually, 'demand' purportedly does work in Linux but, according to the

Don't use it. I had assumed from the man page and a VagueMemory(tm)

Are you saying that 'demand' now works in Linux?

I use "pidof" for this purpose. Seems to work better,
for me at least, than searching for strings in the output

return value. Something like shown below. Substituting the
program you want to monitor for "suck".
while pidof suck > /dev/null

bit annoying - I was hoping to add a few mirrorring scripts
