I am trying to get the following command to execute when my ppp link comes up. 'fetchmail -f /etc/ppp/.fetchmailrc' I have tried adding this to the ppp.linkup file in /etc/ppp, but for some reason it just doesn't work....I have also tried to prefix this with both '!bg "' and also "!sh -c", but neither of them worked. I am using FreeBSD 3.1 Any help as to the syntax would be greatly appreciated.
