You're not running the latest ppp. You can get it from http://www.Awfulhak.org/ppp.html and it comes with 2.2.8 & 3.0 as standard. Your alternative (with the version you've already got) is to create a script: #! /bin/sh echo $* | mail patrick@cre8tivegroup.com and then put this in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup: !bg /path/to/my/script MYADDR > A few days ago, Brian Somers suggested the following to send the IP address of > the ppp connection to an email address. What this does for me is send a > message that says "MYADDR". This is from my ppp.linkup file: > > MYADDR: > !bg sh -c "echo MYADDR | mail patrick@cre8tivegroup.com" > > I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.7-STABLE from November 17th. > > Anyone know how to make this work, other than as I have in the past of writing > a script to grab the netstat -rn and mailing that? I'd rather make it as > simple as possible! > > Patrick > > --- > Patrick S.
