[plug] I think I broke it: Was:I've got my two computers going...thanks for assistance

[David Buddrige]

I managed to figure out what the problem was - Squid _was_ loading at 
boot-time, however since (at the time of load), the ppp link to the 
internet was not yet up, it immediately failed with a dns error... Does 
anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this particular problem?  What 
I've done for the moment is set up a very basic script which boots squid 
(manually) once the system has loaded and logged in - but I must type 
the name of this script to get it to run after booting the computer... 
ideally I'd like it to load automatically... ( maybe a cron job which 
check if squid is running and if not, then loads it?  - but then, I 
don't know how I might tell (in a script) whether or not squid is 
running...)

Thanks for your help so-far... 8-)

regards

David.
