######################################################################### # # Example of ppp.linkup file # # This file is checked when ppp establishes a connection. # ppp searches the labels in this file as follows: # # 1) The label that matches the IP number assigned to our side. # # 2) The label specified on the command line to ppp. # # 3) If no label has been found, use MYADDR if it exists. # # # ######################################################################### # It is no longer necessary to re-add the default route here as our # ppp.conf route is `sticky' (see the man page). # If you're into sound effects when the link comes up, you can run # ``auplay'' (assuming NAS is installed and configured). # MYADDR: !bg /usr/X11R6/bin/auplay /etc/ppp/linkup.au # If we've got 192.244.176.32 as our address, then regard peer as a gateway # to 192.244.176.0 network. This may also be done in ppp.conf instead. # 192.244.176.32: add 192.244.176.0 0 HISADDR # You may want to execute a script after connecting. This script can do # nice things such as kick off "sendmail -q", "popclient my.isp" and # "slurp -d news". It can be passed MYADDR, HISADDR and INTERFACE # as arguments too - useful for informing a DNS of your assigned IP. # # NOTE: It's vital that you use ``!bg'' rather than ``!'' if the program # you're running will take some time or will require network # connectivity. Using ``!'' will delay ppp 'till the completion # of the program being run! # # You may also want some sound effects.... # pmdemand: !bg /etc/ppp/ppp.etherup.pmdemand ! sh -c "cat /etc/ppp/linkup.au >/dev/audio" # If your minimum call charge is 5 minutes, you may as well stay on # the line for that amount of time. If we want a 60 second subsequent # timeout, set your timeout to 300 in ppp.conf and then do this: # min5minutes: !bg sh -c "sleep 240; pppctl -p mypassword 3000 set timeout 60"
