Linux PPP

ip-down script

This script is run when the PPP connection is closed. The only thing it does is to echo a message to the console.

This script is stored in /etc/ppp/ip-down.

     #! /bin/bash
     interface=$1
     echo PPP on interface $interface down at $(date) >/dev/console

If you vary this script, remember that all output must be sent to /dev/console or to a file. It is run by pppd after it has disconnected from the terminal, and any message sent only to standard output will be lost.
