Ifconfig ppp0 lists no device and after a time, no ppp is running.Since I have a home dynamic IP, such a script could also update the dn server as well if it must reconnect.Another, related question: Ssh updates its known host file everytime a new host is accessed. If I test my connection, each new temporary IP gets placed in this file. A waste--is there a way to defeat this or do I simply delete the file occasionally if it gets too big?Just run a cron-job with a script like this #!/bin/bash ifconfig ppp0 if [ $? != "0" ] then ifup ppp0 fi Sturla
