I'm using ppp in -auto mode and have noticed that in the log file that after I issue a kill -INT to ppp I see that it shows how long the connection was up in seconds. So I wrote a little awk script to pull those value's out and add them up so I can track my times and see when PPP is dialing out etc. But I have rc5 running on a couple of machines and they want to call out at random times when they need new blocks or to send anything out. Unfortunatly the only thing I can do is to let the connection time out and ppp does not record the lenght of time the connection was up when a connection idles out. My awk script does not pick that info out of the log file since its not there. Is there a way to force ppp to log the lenth of time a connection was up? I looked into the set log options but nothing there seemed to do what I want. I use ppp from 08/20 of this year. Does any newer version have anything like that? thanks, Keith
