Change PPPoE user/password script
« on: March 08, 2005, 12:42:34 PM »
Hi everybody, I'm writing a script to change the
conection user and password for PPPoE service, from
the console. I've sucessfully changed it with db,
with

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration set DialupUserAccount user

I want to know if I need to do something else to
make the changes permanent, something like /sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save
or something like that. I ask this because I don't know too much about the singal-event
process and different options.
There's any place to read a little more to learn about
the signal-event process ?

Also I want to port this to the server-manager, to
change the values directly from the admin web page,
but still need to learn about that too, if anyone
wants to help me, we can do it togheter.

Thanks in advance for any help, will be really
appreciated.

regards,
Jarkor

There's already such a script. It's called "console". You log in as admin, and choose option 2 "Configure".

Thanks for replying CharlieBrady, I know there is already an option to configure all the parameters
like in the initial configuration, running /sbin/e-smith/console, but I only want to change
PPPoE user/pass and that's it. I've already finished writing the script but I don't know if it's estrictly
neccesary to run /sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save or not after changing that settings.

Thanks,
