Wouldn't it be possible to make the execution of a command ( i.e., running
fetchnews ) dependant on the string "ppp0" being part of the output of
"ifconfig", that way it'll run if the ppp connection is up, it won't run
if the connection is down.

I could probably hack together something very, very dodgy in a shell
script to do this - but presumably there's something more elegant ( based
on the code returned from "ifconfig | grep ppp" perhaps? ).
