Hi,

what might be the reason that pppd does not start the scripts given in
the config in use with the connect and disconnect options?


,----
| connect script
|   [...]
|   This option specifies an command for pppd to execute (by passing it to
|   a shell) before attempting to start PPP negotiation.
|
| disconnect script
|    Execute the command specified by script, by passing it to a shell,
|    after pppd has terminated the link.
`----


And I have


,----
| # call this script when connecting
| connect /etc/ppp/connect-alert.sh
| 
| # call this script when disconnecting
| disconnect /etc/ppp/disconnect-alert.sh
`----


in /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider, starting the connection with 'pon
dsl-provider'.  This is pppoe, not using a modem.

None of the scripts are started when connecting or disconnecting.  They
would notify me that the connection is up/down.

Why aren't the scripts being run?  Is there a better way to receive
notification?
