Here is a short script I got off the list awhile back. It was written by
[EMAIL PROTECTED] You would use 'diald-cmd delay-quit' to shutdown the
link when it goes idle.
#! /bin/sh
# diald-cmd - script to control the diald program
if [ "${1:-help}" != "help" ]; then
for CMD in $*; do
echo ${CMD} > /etc/diald/diald.ctl
done
else
echo " "; echo " "
echo "usage: `basename ${0}` option where option is:"
echo " "; echo " "
echo "block ......... hang up and block new calls"
echo "unblock ....... remove the effect of block"
echo "force ......... call, and stay up until \"unforce\""
echo "unforce ....... remove the effect of force"
echo "down .......... force the link down"
echo "up ............ force the link up"
echo "delay-quit .... terminate when current link goes idle"
echo "quit .......... force link down and terminate"
echo "reset ......... reset & re-read configuration options"
echo "debug <flags> . set the debug flags to the given value"
fi
