>When the link between two LANs comes up, you may well want to make sure
that email that is queued at either end is <I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>flushed</I
> - sent out to
its destination. This is done by adding the appropriate <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>sendmail</TT
>
invocation.</P
><P
>Using the bash 'case' statement on an appropriate parameter that pppd
passes into the script accomplishes this. For example, this is
the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>/etc/ppp/ip-up</TT
> script I use to handle our WAN links and the
link to my home Ethernet (also handled on the same ppp server).</P
