pidof
Hi, I am trying to obtain the 'pid' of a script for when I do logging and back tracking. The script is initiated from a shell command within the ppp option files. It happens like this: A caller calls in and connects using ppp. An ppp option file for that serial port (ie options.ttyC6) includes the 'welcome' option. The ppp 'welcome' option initiates a shell that takes a commandline for an argument. In this case the 'welcome /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/isp start ttyC6 '. The isp script checks for and monitors the main connection to the internet, and logs to the syslogd. When the dialin user hangs up, pppd will also kill the script. For logging and accounting purposes I need to track the connection and up time of the connection. I will have to do this through pids. The problem is I cannot seemed to collect the correct pid. Every dialin connection has an instance of the script, so sometimes i have 6 to 10 of them all monitoring it own dialin port and insuring it has Internet continuity. The only difference between each instance is the ttyCx commandline option. The 'pidof' function keeps returning the pidof the first instance. When I do ps faux I see the pid in the logfile is not the correct pid. In the script I do the following: #!/bin/sh # # isp This shell script takes care of starting and stopping # Main Internet Connection # # Source function library. . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions ISPSH="sh $0 $1 $2" PID=`pidof -s $ISPSH` ^--(back tic)-^ My email client changed this to ' INFOENTRY="-p local0.info -t isp.sh[$PID]" --snip-- [ -f $SCRIPT_HOME/isp ] || exit 0 case "$1" in start) logger $INFOENTRY "Looking for ISP Connection for $2" --snip to EOF-- What kind of input can you give me on this? Hopfully a solution. thanks in advance -- robert -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
Re: Can't connect by SCRIPT just by HAND
You may need to include the 'silent' option in yout /etc/options file. This will cause your connection to wait for the other end to send an LCP packet efore it tries to negoiate. Also, I think the problem maybe that the other end is waiting for the username and password. Some ISP do this for some strange reason. "rname:" "yourusername" "ssword:" "your password" try something like this in your chat script file. hope this helps. -- robert Tacio Alessandro Grespan dos Santos wrote: Hi, I tried to connect by script without success.

Re: PPP desperation
What port are you using? ttySx or cuax? Try *not* using the modem symlink to your serial device try using /dev/ttySx directly. This does take care of alot of problems. I'm here all night unless something breaks down, so reply quickly! -- robert Chris Mayes wrote: Hello. Yes, it's me, again. I have tried many, many ways of connecting with no luck. None of the scripts I run even pick up the modem, nor do they report any errors. pppd run with '-v chat my script' does exactly the same thing: nothing. The only thing that can access my modem is minicom. Heartened by this, I set minicom up with a script to automatically set up my PPP stuff. However, when I tried to use it, the display was appallingly slow, for some reason. Instructions take nearly a minute to display. The initialization string does not even show up until well after the handshake. In any case, the script does not even initialize, possibly because of the massive delay. When the login prompt finally creeps accross the screen, I perform the login manually. When it gets to the ppp-start, the modem disconnects. Any ideas? I'd still like to find out why none of the scripts access the modem correctly, or at all, and still do not report any problems. Thanks in advance.

If I try to send mail to an account with rw (user)@ohiocounty.net it gets returned to me (or whoever sends it). rw Even the mail daemon has an address of rw [EMAIL PROTECTED] rw any suggestion on this? By default, sendmail pulls out the hostname of the machine it's running on and puts it in the from: header. This is a common problem for dialup users who fetch mail from a POP server, or networks where you want mail to go to the domain, not the host. If you use Netscape locally, you can fix it in Netscape. If you use a shell based mail agent (e.g. elm, pine), you can get sendmail to masquerade as any domain you want. In /etc/sendmail.cf, there is a line to configure masquerading. Simply add the desired domain after this in the space provided for masquerading (the line beginning with DM) and remove any leading hash (#) to uncomment the line. DMohiocounty.net Also, you'll have to add ohiocounty.net to /etc/sendmail.cw, if you are running the machine as a mail server for a domain, so incoming mail to ohiocounty.net is treated as local mail. Finally, make sure you have the appropriate MX records in your DNS, so other hosts know where to send mail for your domain. Well I don't except incoming mail other that an occasional return receipt. But I did (for the dial users) include a line that maps the 'mail.ohiocounty.net' to the SMTP server.

Importing Variables
Hi, I am trying to write a script that gives the specific information and controls the Main Trunk connection when a dialin user calls in and connect. This script has been designed to be sensitive to the specfic port list on the command line when the script is initiated. I need to import into the script the actual speed that modem negeotiated and the name of the user that is logging on. mgetty is answering the phone and pass authentication to the ppp from where the script is initiated in such away as to run in the background. Also, how does one send AT commands to a modem from the command line or in maybe even in a script form. thanks in advance -- robert -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
