Would be a great idea to add in / ppp profile the ability to run scripts when someone connect, or disconnect,
as well as hotspot user profile on-login / on-logout
because I like many people have several scripts that have to be running seconds in second, and so so would run if someone connect / disconnect
Funny. I emailed support two days ago with that exact feature request . No reply yet, but I don’t blame them, since it was on a weekend, and it’s still only Monday.
I wish dhcp-client would trigger an event whenever it obtains/renews/releases a lease also.
Then I wouldn’t have to run my ddns-update script every 5 minutes.
(I —loathe— scheduled scripts that do something that should just be event driven)
The IP will not change w/o a lease being obtained. I don’t need to check it 500 times a day when the lease is good for 3 days.
At the risk of jinxing it, I’m going to reveal the final reply I got from support, after some back&forth, looking for possible alternative approaches, and why this is ultimately the best solution:
(my personal interpretation of that is “we’re aiming to have it in 6.30, but no promises!” )
