Subject: [EXIM] For the FAQ
the FAQ says:
|Q0511: I have an ISDN connection and would like a way of running the queue
|automatically when it is up.
|A0511: The following shell commands test for the interface being up and then
|run the queue:
|
|         ifconfig ppp0 | fgrep UP >/dev/null
|         if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then exim -q ; fi

|You could put these commands into a script which runs them at regular
|intervals.

With Linux, the script /etc/ppp/ip-up is run after a ISDN connection
or a more general PPP connection has been established. I usually put a
call to exim -qq in that script.

Greetings
Marc
