This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0004_01BDF1FE.AA74A400 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I am running FreeBSD 2.2.7 on a Pentium computer with=20 ppp and Apache. I have a command in my ppp.linkup=20 file to run a script which ftp's a file up to another server=20 on the web each time a connection is made with my ISP.=20 When the server reboots, I have commands in the /etc/rc.local=20 file to run ppp -auto -alias my_isp and start Apache. Problem=20 is, when the server reboots, ppp and Apache start okay, but the=20 command in my ppp.linkup file does not execute. In other=20 words, my file does not get ftp'ed up to the other server unless=20 I manually login and run the script myself. When I manually login and run ppp the ppp.linkup file runs=20 the desired script without a problem. It is only when the=20 server reboots and no one is there to login that the ppp.linkup=20 file fails to execute. Anyone have an idea on this? ------=_NextPart_000_0004_01BDF1FE.AA74A400 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=3Dtext/html;charset=3Diso-8859-1 = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D'"MSHTML 4.72.3110.7"' name=3DGENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>I am running FreeBSD 2.2.7 on a = Pentium computer=20 with </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>ppp and Apache.
