One thing you can do, for the time being, is make a 'dispatcher' script that does this. It's a small script that gets called whenever things happen with the network, and in your case that's a great place to put this. The script gets called with the interface name that came up or down, so you can just pop this command into a small script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d, and match against the interface name starting with "ppp". Note you'll want the IP_IFACE environment variable from the script, not the actual interface name passed as a command-line parameter to the script as $1. Note that it won't *always* be ppp0. There's various information out there on creating dispatcher scripts, and there may even be some already installed on your system. Dan
Dan, thank you for the response. I'll be reading more about what you wrote and trying this out. I'll respond with how it works out. Thanks again, I had kinda given up on this and installed MS Windows shamefully. -Andy _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
