Re: ppp

I have a shell script which connects me to the internet with ppp. Also in
this script I would like to add fetchmail, sendmail -q, and rdate but
because pppd detaches so quickly it tries to execute these commands before
it has finished dialling/authenticating. Is there an easy & neat way to make
it wait until the link is established?
