Hello everyone, I have setup a FreeBSD box which a friend of mine will run as a mail server/firewall in his SOHO, using dialup (modem) to his ISP. Almost everything is setup and running, even ppp can work when I manually run through the dialup procedure.
I don't have much problem configuring what he will run on this box, but one aspect has pinned me down. The ppp _MUST_ not run in "auto" or "ondemand" modes. It must be initiated manually. I would like to make a crontab entry that will run ppp after every one hour. I don't have a problem with crontab, but how to invoke ppp via it ;) I'd appreciate some hand-holding here. What shall I put as the command that will be run by cron? -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ Do you realize how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
