i also wrote a short script being run by cron:
/usr/sbin/checkppp
=====================================================================
/bin/ping -c 5 router1 > /tmp/pingresult 2>&1
count=`grep 'packets' /tmp/pingresult |awk '{print $4}'`
if [ $count = 0 ]
then
echo "re-dialling..."
/usr/sbin/dialupscript
fi
=====================================================================
when cron runs the script, it detected that ppp0 is down, it then
execute /usr/sbin/dialupscript and then it says "Connect script failed".
BUT if i execute /usr/sbin/checkppp from the command line, it works fine.
i also have the same /usr/sbin/dialupscript in rc.local and its also
connecting.
i also tried the script below but it wont connect through cron, through
command line is fine.
thanks.
