Hi all, I just created a small script (see ddclient and Dynamic DNS servers thread) In my script I run the line : ddclient -<arguments> >> /var/log/ppp.ddns Now where do I learn scripting like this, (I remembered that a script is just multiple command line entries) and remembered the append idea (I did a multi user operating systems course in college 3 years ago lol) I have read through the tcsh man page, and found some useful stuff, where do I learn more ? Like how to send an email when the script runs with the new IP # the time the connection took place, how long the connection is up, and stats IE mb sent and received ?? (just need pointers on where to find the info, as I find the best way to learn is to write scripts and debug them :o) Regards, Kat. ____________________________________________________________________________ /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | K.A.Q.
