Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all. I'm Running FreeBSD 4.0-R, and trying to build a set of scripts to automagically update a web page with my currint IP address. I've got the script working if I run it manually, but It just doesn't seem to do anything when I let ppp.linkup call it. I can see in the logfile that it gets executed, (command !bg /etc/ppp/sendip MYADDR shows up in the log) but I never get any output from the script in any logfile. I tried having ppp.linkup call it with " > /var/log/sendip.err" to see what's happening, but still no output. (although the file is created) I'm thinking this is a permissions problem. However, there is no ppp user (I think there is on Linux boxes... its been a while), and I don't think I want to set the script as world executable. What should I use as the owner/group/permissions for that script? Am I missing something obvious? Is that the wrong way to get a logfile output? Any help, guidance, or bonks on the head are welcome!
