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?
