This is just a simple way to play with your ISP.
[test]
#!/usr/bin/perl
$PING = "/sbin/ping";
system($PING." -Qqc 5 yahoo.com"." > /dev/null 2>&1");
#change yahoo.com to your ISP gateway
if ($? == 0) {
print "Link is UP\n"; }
else {
print "Link is DOWN\n";
#DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT HERE
}
#------end test
Note: /var/run/tun0.pid is the pid for ppp program
I did not try this also. :D
Play at your own risk.

|| || Sorry everyone, forgot to convert to txt before sending
|| || this, so I'll resend
|| ||
|| || I'm having this huge problem: I have adsl, and I connect
|| || using that PPPoE garbage. I also just changed ISP for a
|| || less expensive one, and I'm beginning to realize why its
|| || less expensive. I'm running a machine with FreeBSD 4.7
|| || stable on it and whenever it gets disconnected (about
|| || twice daily, believe it or not) it can't seem to
|| || "realize" that such is the case and thus never reconnects
|| || to get a new IP. Does anyone have any idea what I can do
|| || to fix this? Whenever I'm not around, and this happens,
|| || I have to go out of my way to drive to where this box is
|| || located to reboot it. It's the only way I'm able to
|| || force it to reconnect.
|| ||
|| || TIA
