Hi,
You can use something like this:
----------start-------------
/etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up generic
sleep 20 # wait 20 sec
ping -c 3 your.gateway.numeric.ip.here
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
echo "No connection established..."
exit 1
else
run the rest of your script here
fi
--------------end-----------------
