I did, but couldn't get it to work. >From what I can gather, the pppd daemon is in a wait state internally, until it detects the DSL signal is dropped. Then it exits to the adsl-connect script, which loops back to call the daemon again (using setsid, which I am not familiar with.) The daemon reconnects to the new IP, then goes back into wait (or polling) state. Therefore inserting commands in adsl-connect will have no effect. I only have adsl-connect as a script, pppd is an executable. So it seems there is nowhere to insert the avi command easily. Or maybe you have an idea? Maybe the only solution is to run a cron job that checks once a minute if the new IP and the port fwd IP are different, and if so, run avi? Appreciate your help very much, Tom PS. For reference, here are two of the Roaring Penguin scripts: http://www.mindspring.com/~ath2o/adsl-start.txt http://www.mindspring.com/~ath2o/adsl-connect.txt The change I attempted was in adsl-connect, near the bottom of the file. ===== Tom Atwater tomath2o.yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
