Here is the script I use to check and connect.
# getmail
/usr/local/bin/connect
pid=`ps ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1;}'`
while
ps ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep > /dev/null
do
if ifconfig ppp0 | grep inet > /dev/null; then
sendmail -q
/usr/local/bin/popmail
kill -9 ${pid}
/sbin/ifconfig ppp0 down
/sbin/ifconfig ppp0 delete
/sbin/route flush
fi
done
The connect is a
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/cua02 57600 connect "chat ABORT BUSY '' ATZ \
OK ATDT9431198 ogin duane assword 'blabla_bla'"
OBTW, I have been meaning to post my results of all the questions I asked
a few weeks ago about pppd and chat and everything. But since I haven't
done this yet and I am posting this I would like to thank everyone that
did help me with some of the missing links, like using the wrong tty
ports and stuff like that.
Hope some of this is useful...
