I have a script to start ppp that was written when I was running
slackware. This script allows me to choose among several isp numbers
and several option files. It displays the number being called,
reports when the connection is up, and records the time connection is
made. When ppp is stopped it reports that ppp is down and displays
the length of time the connection was up. These messages are
displayed using the echo command. It is rather verbose, but that is
the way I like it.
When I started using debian 1.2.0 last winter, I found that this
script worked, except that the output while the connection is being
made is suppressed. I have just discovered the file
/etc/ppp/connect-errors, which contains all of the messages I have
been missing. I can not find any reference to this file in the
documentation, and I don't know if pppd or chat is responsible for
redirecting these messages to the file. How can I cause these
messages to be echoed to the console as I intended rather than being
redirected to this file?
