The challenge: monitor a page every 5 months. $ cat /etc/anacrontab 150 33 jidanni.nerd wwwoffle -F http://nerdclub.bla/login which executes 33 minutes after boot etc. every 150 (=30*5) days.
Maybe edit /etc/crontab with /5 option (every 5 month), invoking [ (ppp) online ] && wwwoffle -F
Plus invoking cron (not anacron) from /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ ...cron here checks about every 2 minutes, though.
