Dear List,
The issue listed below is solved by a helpful suggestion by Mr.James
Wilkinson, off the list. The reason was setting the executable bit for the
script! I thank James for his perceptive suggestion.
I also thank Alexander who gave the script,Paul and others who helped.

Hello List,
I have created a script in ip-down.local as follows on the advice of
Mr.Alexander Dalloz on the list,
[pbhat@sidharth ~]$ cat /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
DATE=$(date +"%Y.%m.%d %H:%M:%S")
# Format: date time onlinetime [s] bytes send bytes received
/bin/echo $DATE $CONNECT_TIME $BYTES_SENT $BYTES_RCVD
>>/var/log/ppp-usage
I have also created an empty file in /var/log/ppp-usage.
Now I expected this file to be updated each time connection went down.
This doesn't seem to be happening. This file remains empty.
If I issue command
/sbin/echo $CONNECT_TIME
I get nothing. What I am missing here?
Regards,
Parameshwara Bhat
