Actually, I've recently worked out that another of my files in ip-down.d doesn't run either. It's just a very small script to play a sound file to let me know if the modem has disconnected when I don't want it to. It looks like this: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/bplay /dos/c/windows/media/bleep.wav Pretty simple, and works find when I run it manually, but it doesn't seem to run when the PPP connection goes down. Don't know if it's relevant or not, but I usually controll the PPP connection using the GNOME Modem Lights Applet, which calls pon and poff.
