Trying to execute a 'dip -k' within a perl script I am getting no response == no I/O no failure no nuthin' ==<br />
<br />
I have tried &nbsp;system(&quot;dip -k&quot;);<br />
and exec(&quot;dip -k&quot;) &nbsp;and using backquotes instead, both in system() and exec() and just as naked lines in the script.<br />
<br />
I have tried killing the ppp0 directly but dip seems to keep the hardware locked if I do that... Messy to have a script calling reboot, so ... I want to get dip -k to do the shutdown. <br />
<br />
Also, this is an ISDN port so dip owns 2 ppp# processes.<br />

Rapid replies appreciated, as this box is aworking gateway and needs to be reliable SOON! &nbsp; 8^o<br />
