Well, another, quite intuitive way of achieving what you want would be to write a script to launch Iceweasel, and use that script instead of the Iceweasel icon. In the script, you could type in all the commands you currently type by hand, then type iceweasel on the next line, and finally, type all the commands you currently use to disconnect. Then, you would just make a nice desktop shortcut to the script, with a big shiny icon, and you're all set and done. The script would execute pon, launch iceweasel, and when you close iceweasel, it would execute poff. Can't get much simpler than that. If you just LOVE to have a dialog (and if you use Gnome), you could also intersperse the script with a bunch of colorful zenity dialogs (man zenity).
Of course, all this is quite useless if your xADSL is not "pay-per- minute"; if it's "pay-per-megabyte", then it's best to have it always on -- that's even cooler than having cool dialogs! -- Regards, Klistvud Certifiable Loonix User #481801 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
