Since I've scripts as cronjobs to take care of mail I 'm having the
annoying experience that the scripts try to make a connection even if I'm
allready on line. What I would like to do is make the script check if
there is a connection and if so skip the dialing and go straight to
downloading and sending mail. I checked in the archives but couldn't find
the answer to this question. I've an idea I should work with grep but
since I never used it, I don't know its "grammar".

Thanks,
Zoki.
