[-- Attachment #1 --] I am using ppp in -auto mode with a 32 minute idle timeout. I would like to run a script just before each idle disconnect in order to update my DNS services to an offline state. I cant use ppp.linkdown because I am already disconnected from the internet when it is executed. Is there a way to do this? Please CC me because I'm not a subscriber to freebsd-questions.
