Once upon a time, I heard Jerome BENOIT say > Hi all ! > > I have a very naive question: > is there a very simple way to run job periodically > BUT only when the LAN connection is enabled ? Here is my way. Since I am having only one lan connection, I still use a network start up script in pcmcia package (/etc/pcmcia/network.opts). In that file you can put a start up function there e.g. put /etc/init.d/anacron start when network is up and vice versa. OTH, you may use pcmcia with the ifupdown package. For this case, you can use "up /etc/init.d/anacron start" in /etc/network/interfaces. check ifupdown and pcmcia pacakages for more info.
