I created some files for the newbies here... called dial and hangup I but them somewhere in the path, (like sbin) and dial basically contains the command: ifup ppp0 (and it restarts postfix and sets sendmail to send queued mail...) and hangup contains: ifdown ppp0 then you can make a cronjob for hanging up and dialing... shouldn't be that tough.. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of adam Sent: Thursday, 27 September 2001 6:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Auto email check Right, I'm getting really lazy in my old age. Since recent posts have indicated that it's ok to leave your pc on for long periods of time, I would like mine to dial up and check my email. I'm using Netscape6.1 for email and news. Is there any script or package out there which will do this for me? Or, can Linux be configured to do it automatically. I dial in on a modem, so do not have 24/7 access. Thanks.
