you want to put that in pppd script in /etc/rc.conf IF you want it to run at boot B ----- Original Message ----- From: jonathan michaels <jon@caamora.com.au> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Monday, July 30, 2001 8:51 AM Subject: where to put pppd startup script ???? rc.conf ??? greetings all i've been using kernel ppp (aka pppd) for a while now and was watching a power-outage recovery during one of teh bad storms (losts of very cold winds and rain, thankfully no lightening) we have had here in a while. currently, i start pppd with a script (by hand mainly) but the machine has been stable (its on a small ups, local australian product and i'm not a programmer so i've not worked out how to rejig teh many ups c sources to make my sola work with with any of the american ones that teh programes are written for). sorry i digress. where, would the pppd startup segment be best put in rc.local ? rc.network or rc.conf ???? i tried with rc.network but got a hung computer -- i tried reading up on teh booting process but the general "Unix" book was more a tome on sys V r3.2 than a text on berkeley unix some sugestions thoughts cc's appreciated (jlm at caamora dot com dot au) as i'm not subscribed to -questions anymore. also can anyone recommend a book to read up on topics like this (i have teh greg lehey tomes, one through 2 and a ed 3 somewhere). with regards and much thanks jonathan -- ================================================================ Jonathan Michaels http://repaired.soon.maybe PO Box 144, Rosebery, NSW 1445 suffering construction anxiety ============================================<jon@caamora.com.au> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
