I want to activate the Mozilla browsing ONLY WHEN INTERNET CONNECTION IS SUCCESSFULLY ESTABLISHED by WVDIAL, could any one advice or point me to right place of a how-to, I am not good at script (yet), if there is one, would really appreciate, Thanks.Assuming that wvdial is *eventually* handing stuff off to ppp [which it appears WVDial does], you could do the following:
create a file /etc/ppp/ip-up.local that is a shell script to do whatever you want.
As an example, ddclient is a client for Dynamic DNS Service providers [such as dyndns.org]. DDClient [which can be installed via yum install ddclient. The example is placed in /usr/share/doc/ddclient-3.6.3/sample-etc_ppp_ip-up.local by default] comes with a ip-up.local script that will update DDNS based on your new IP address that you receive when you connect via PPP.
You could put other items in there, such as launching Mozilla with various preferences, etc..
Hope that helps...
