Re: Send message on ppp going up|down [was Re: Install just samba client?]

Thanks for your response, Alexander.

Nothing in /var/log/daemon [to where ppp logs] and nothing in the samba 
client log either - so I know the script is not being executed, I'm just not 
sure why?

I modelled it on /etc/ppp/ppp.linkdown.sample, which uses

  !bg /usr/X11R6/bin/auplay /etc/ppp/linkdown.au

so I think perhaps my shell syntax/semantics are incorrect?
