Application: I have a SnapperHead server that some of my friends really love watching (guess they like X better than Xp
) but I'm on a PPPoE connection, and thus don't want to give out my IP address again and again...
I thought of a clever work-around: make a local script that executes once a PPPoE connection is established that prints a little HTML page with my IP address, and uploads it to my web server (iDisk or whatever).
The question, how do I make a script execute when a PPPoE connection is established? AppleScript or tcsh or PHP4 are all plausible, but I'd most prefer PHP4.
There's a simple way to do it manually, just make a PHP script that does it at the click of a button on a localhost page, but I'd like it to be automatic...
Thanks!
