I created scripts called dial and hangup, and used them to call wvdial. they also start and stop fetchmail, and the firewall.
I also have: killall wvdial in ip-down.local (and my firewall restart) just to make sure.. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kipling Cooper Sent: Monday, 18 February 2002 10:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] ip-down.local This should be so easy, I cannot figure out why it is not working! I want to stop the fetchmail daemon when I am not connected to my ISP, fo I made an 'ip-down.local' as follows; #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/fetchmail -quit the file is: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 35 Feb 18 09:05 /etc/ppp/ip-down.local* but whenever I stop wvdial, the fethcmail daemon does not quit, unless I do it manually. Can anyone please help? -- Thank you! Kipling
