Actually, I've recently worked out that another of my files in ip-down.d
doesn't run either. It's just a very small script to play a sound file
to let me know if the modem has disconnected when I don't want it to. It
looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/bplay /dos/c/windows/media/bleep.wav
Pretty simple, and works find when I run it manually, but it doesn't
seem to run when the PPP connection goes down.
Don't know if it's relevant or not, but I usually controll the PPP
connection using the GNOME Modem Lights Applet, which calls pon and
poff.
Cheers,
