this may or maynot be what your looking for, but when ever my ppp0 device
goes up,
pppd looks for the following file ip-up, so I have my routing information
in there
eg: (Note you need to specify full path names for it to execute correctly)
#ip-up
#!/bin/bash
/sbin/ifconfig ed0 alias x.x.x.1 netmask 255.255.255.255
/sbin/route add -host x.x.x.1 -interface ed0
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q &
---- [ end ] --
and when I bring ppp0 down pppd executes the following in a file called
/etc/ppp/ip-down
----------[ ip-down snip]------------
#!/bin/bash
/sbin/route delete x.x.x.1
/sbin/ifconfig ed0 inet x.x.x.1 delete
------------ [ end ] -------------
hope this helps you..
cya
