Why not use a dynamic DNS service, such as DynDNS.org?

At least newer versions of run-parts only allow underscores in the
so-called "hierarchical namespace" (i.e. "[hier1]-[hier2]-...-[name]"),

I did this with the following script. The IP address part may be
ugly, but it works.
Thanks, I didn't know that.
I renamed the file, and it fixed
my problem. Thanks again.

Thanks Brian. I'll keep this for reference. BTW, the
script /etc/ppp/ip-up exports the dynamic address as
PPP_LOCAL. Should I not be able to use that in my
script?
export PPP_IFACE PPP_TTY PPP_SPEED PPP_LOCAL PPP_REMOTE PPP_IPPARAM
Thanks again,

Hello,
I have a few user scripts which run once a day. These are right now
keeping track of their own time stamp, and are run regularly (for
example by cron, or whenever logging in).

I'm using Debian 2.2.17 (Potato). I've placed some scripts in

uses run-parts. I want the shell-scripts (and probably some pe

While grappling with getting kernel 2.4.21 to compile, I checked to be
sure that the make-kpkg routine was accessing the patch-kernel files..
In the process of attempting various combinations of files, I found that
run-parts was ignoring the proper script
(run-parts /usr/src/kernel-patch/all
It looks like cron on Etch isn't working properly in all cases. I've
tried running:
sudo run-parts --verbose /etc/cron.hourly
and nothing happens. Of course, when I run the scripts by hand, all
works well. Cron *is* firing, so why aren't my hourly scripts being run?

Why does run-parts not like dots in filenames?
I'm embarrassed to admit I just spent over half an hour wrangling with the

Running by hand causes no problems. Then I piped the output to mail, and
when it arrives, the lpd restart only echos a ".". Any ideas? This is a
relatively up to date

This file comes from kernel-patch-debian-2.4.21. File a bug against this
package saying that kernel-package uses run-parts, which doesn't pick up
files with dots in the filename.

It turns out that this is caused by moving a shell script (with a .sh
extension) into the run-parts directory. Run-parts won't run filenames
with dots in them. If this is documented clearly anywhere, I couldn't
find it, but removing the filename extensions fixed the problem.

WHy not attack this the other way. If the device goes down while

something like:

Actually, the bug is in pppd: it will start ip-down while ip-up is still
running. This is fixed in pppd-2.3.6, which is in unstable.

Right "pppd" doesnt go down if "ip-up" doesnt which wont unless "run-parts" does
