wan-start never get called

[bogolisk]

Hi

I put a wan-start script on the router but it never get called. If I telnet in and call the script by hand then it's ok. But it never get called when wan ip changed.

admin@router:/tmp/home/root# ll -t /jffs/scripts/wan-start
-rwxrwxrwx    1 admin    root           128 May 24 11:34 /jffs/scripts/wan-start*

admin@router:/tmp/home/root# cat /jffs/scripts/wan-start
#!/bin/sh
wget -q http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -O /tmp/freedns.out

Start by writing a message to syslog at the beginning of your script to see if it is being executed.

#!/bin/sh

logger -t $(basename $0) $1

wget -q http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -O /tmp/freedns.out

Wow, just adding that line make it work!!! must be a timing thing. Maybe ppp0 is not fully functional when wan-start got called and calling logger made it work by adding a delay.

Thank you very much.
