Message-ID: <CuqIwJ.7MM@usenet.ucs.indiana.edu> Sender: news@usenet.ucs.indiana.edu (USENET News System) Nntp-Posting-Host: mimosa.astro.indiana.edu Organization: Indiana University Date: Thu, 18 Aug 1994 14:29:07 GMT Lines: 21 Hi, I am running the 1.1.5.1 release of FreeBSD. I have just finished a neat series of scripts. My machine is connected to a host via uucp. There are also ppp dialup lines I have access to. When I want to get to my machine from work via ppp, I just uucp a file named 'startppp'. In 15 minutes the machine mails me a copy of the output of 'netstat -r' to tell me what IP number the ppp server assigned it. After I am done, I touch a file in the uucppublic directory called 'stopppp' and within 10 minutes the connection is terminated with the machine going back to ppp. I want to flush the routing table after all this is done. Trouble is that the command 'route flush' does not seem to do anything. Any help here? -- - pitts@mimosa.astro.indiana.edu ^ | James J. Pitts - - Most people are cattle.
