I've been trying to write a script(s) to be run from cron that will
pick up my mail and news unattended. I want the script(s) to first,
check to see if I'm already connected, exit if true, and continue
if not. So far, I can do this, but cannot get it to disconnect when
finished. I'm using the ppp-on, redialer and ppp-off scripts that
come with ppp2.2.0f. I am letting ip-up get the mail with popclient
and suck for the news.
Is anyone doing something like this or can someone point me in the
right direction for such a script(s).
TIA
