[clug] ppp at timed intervals

[Russell Weatherburn]

Good afternoon,

My first reaction was, "why would you?"

I would consider using cron for this, it'd be the easiest way I can 
think of.  Set up a bash script (perl if you must) and then call it from 
cron at the set intervals.

Regards,

Russell.
