[wlug] Running ntpdate in ppp/ip-up.d

Hi, I am trying to get ntpdate to run when my dialup link comes up. This box is running Debian/stable. I have put a simple script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ntpdate : #!/bin/sh /etc/init.d/ntpdate start All this script does is to run /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u -b -s $NTPSERVERS However the script hangs and ps indicates that it is sleeping ( S< ). It works fine if I run it manually (as root). Anyone know why it hangs? How do I make it work? Glenn -- Glenn Ramsey <glenn(a)componic.co.nz> 07 8627077 http://www.componic.co.nz
