I am aware of the redirection of stdout. I have a script in
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d that is supposed to upload a file containing my IP
address to a remote web server. This script works fine, and has been used
before. I have another script that emails my IP address to a remote
account. Neither of these scripts is being run, even though
/etc/ppp/ip-up contains the appropriate run-parts command that is supposed
to run them. I am able to run /etc/ppp/ip-up by hand, and it runs the
scripts in ip-up.d just fine. But they don't get run at all when I start
pppd.
