Script Help

[Raymond Cloutier]

I think that will work (I had been cluelessly playing with the wait command
and had no luck.)  I won't have testing access to the machine until next
Tuesday, but I'll give it a try and let you know.  

Thanks for your help.

		 << File: cc:Mail note part >>     Wouldn't step 4 return a
harmless error if there was no connection?
		     
		     Couldnt you simply loop on step 4 until it went
through?
		     
		     while(connect(dyndns.org));
		     
		     ?

		I'm having problems writing a script to kill and restart my
web server. 
		I've got most of the pieces in place but I'm missing one
component.
		     
		     
		Frequently my provider disconnects me and here's what I must
do.
		     
		1)  dial my provider and obtain an IP address 
		2)  Kill the apache web server,
		3)  Wait for a connection,
		4)  Connect to dyndns.org to update my dynamic dns name/ ip,

		5)  Start the web server.
		     
		I've written and/or found scripts to do all but step 3, and
can seem to find 
		a work around other than to have 2 scripts, 1 for steps 1-2,
and another for 
		steps 4 & 5, and do step 3 manually (wait)
		     
		Any thought or suggestions on how to pause/wait for a ppp0
connection, then 
		resume a script.
		     
		Thanks
