- Subject: ppp per-linkname script dir
-
- (I'm writing you as the maintainer of the Debian ppp package)
-
- On my system, I sometime find it necessary to run different commands for
- different peers/providers after the ppp connection, like specific
- complex routing configuration, etc. To do so I have added the files
- /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/00peer-specific and /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/00peer-specific
- whose contents is:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- #!/bin/bash
- #
- # run peer-specific (or, rather, 'link-name' specific) scripts
-
- if [ -n "$LINKNAME" ] ; then
- run-parts /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/$LINKNAME
- fi
-
- exit 0
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- and the same thing for if-down.d (but with its respective directory
- name). To use these, one must set the linkname pppd option in the files
- under /etc/ppp/peers - but that's a good idea anyway.
-
- Perhaps you would consider adding such files to the ppp package.
