I know that. Maybe I could have it still exec ip-up and ip-down at the
appropriate times.
This is a list of scripts I have in /etc/ppp/scripts.d/
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 288 Mar 15 17:00 chime*
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 120 Mar 16 09:53 cleanup*
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 247 Mar 14 02:58 distributed-net*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 147 Mar 15 18:03 exim*
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 105 Mar 16 02:22 fetchmail*
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 258 Mar 14 02:59 logger*
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 155 Mar 16 02:03 mirror*
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 390 Mar 14 02:59 named.cache*
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 243 Mar 14 03:00 ntpdate*
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 376 Mar 14 03:00 pppstats*
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 90 Mar 14 03:00 tcpdump*
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 646 Mar 14 03:00 wget*
tcpdump start on tty11.
pppstats on tty10
mirror is on tty9, getting debian currently.
fetchmail runs on tty8, in daemon mode, non-detach
Everything else I will let you guess at.
