My PPP connection is working fine. However, when it runs, it executes ip-up script twice. I am not able to figure out why it is running twice. The man pages for pppd did not help. The log files show that ip-up is being invoked by pppd. Even the debug option for pppd, reveals the same information in the syslog. The following is the output from the pstree (executed in ip-up) debugging information. |-pppd(28274) -d /dev/ttyS1 115200 bsdcomp 15,15 connect chat\040-v\040""\040atdt1234567\040"CONNECT" | `-ip-up(28299) /etc/ppp/ip-up ppp0 /dev/ttyS1 115200 172.227.51.108 172.97.214.34 | `-pstree(28303) -pa |-pppd(28274) -d /dev/ttyS1 115200 bsdcomp 15,15 connect chat\040-v\040""\040atdt1234567\040"CONNECT" | `-ip-up(28678) /etc/ppp/ip-up ppp0 /dev/ttyS1 115200 172.227.51.108 172.97.214.34 | `-pstree(28680) -pa Is my invocation of pppd correct? #!/bin/sh PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin /usr/sbin/pppd -d /dev/ttyS1 115200 bsdcomp 15,15 connect 'chat -v "" atdt1234567 "CONNECT"' Thank you for any pointers. -- Subba Rao subb3 at attglobal.net http://pws.prserv.net/truemax/ => Time is relative.
