You can use the /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup and /etc/ppp/ppp.linkdown files to
cause commands to be executed when your link goes up or down. For
instance, assuming that your ppp.conf is based on the default version,
this ppp.linkup file will e-mail root an empty message with your new
IP number in the subject line:
#
# Stuff to run when the PPP link comes up.
#
papchap:
!bg mail -s "PPP link up IP = MYADDR" root </dev/null
#
# That's All Folks!
#
The special token "MYADDR" is replaced by the new IP number. The
ppp(8) man page has details of all such tokens in the description of
the `!bg' command in the extensive "PPP COMMAND LIST" section.
Cheers,
Matthew
