ip-up script called multiple times
Hello all,
I have a Debian 1.3.1 box running kernel 2.0.33 up and running. Not
too long ago I added Diald so that I would not have to stay
connected 24-7 to the internet. I am also using IPMasq All seems
to work fine. Diald starts the connection when it is needed, but
there are a few problem with it that I cannot figure out why they
are doing what they are doing.
My most puzzling problem is the ip-up script. I have my time synced
and the IP address ftped to my .plan file of my Linux server at work
in ip-up. Recently I thought it would be nice to add a little
script that sends an epage to my pager informing me that the home
system has connected and is online (and give the IP address). What I
have noticed is for each connection ip-up is run several times for
one connection.
The day I set this up it sent out 4 pages back to back telling me
about the same IP address. For the same connection. That was the
worst case. Sometimes it is only 2 or 3 times a connection. It
holds true for the ftping of the IP address to my work server. Once
I looked in the xferlog at work I found a similar thing. Here is
the latest entry:

/home/jybarb01/.plan b _ i r jybarb01 ftp 1 root

As you can see, this transfer is only a couple of minutes apart from
the same IP address. I have pppd setup to idle disconnect after 2
mins.
Does anyone know why this is working like it is? Does anyone have a
recommendation to how to fix it?
Thanks,
