How to detect eth0 up?
I have an ADSL modem connected to my Ethernet card. I use pppoe-start to connect to the Internet. I want to know whether my modem is switched on (i.e., eth0 is up) so that i can run pppoe-start because the pppoe-start script does not seem to check the state of eth0 and endlessly tries to start pppoe. Is there any command to know modem's status??

well, you could try
"ifconfig"
to see whether eth0 is listed; and if not
"ifconfig eth0 up"the sun is new every day (heraclitus)
