I run FreeBSD 2.2.7 on a Pentium system. I use ppp to hook-up dynamically to my ISP and run Apache 1.3.1. I want to have my system e-mail my dynamically assigned IP number each time I hook-up. So following some much needed advice, I added this line to the MYADDR section of my /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup file: !bg ifconfig tun0 | mail -s "My Latest IP Address" me@my_domain.com Unfortunately, this does not work. So I made a script which does the same thing and revised the above line to call the script instead. But still no go. Can anyone offer some advice on this?
