I want that a script is run when an internet connection is established (on a normal pc). Like when you can run a script as soon as a device is plugged in thanks to udev, just that I need it for internet ^^ (Sorry if I'm not explaining it clear enough! Smilie)

Edit: the whole Idea was, that I wan't that my pc tries all the time to connect to a netwrok via an UMTS Stick and, when connected, run a script to notify my openvpn server so I can transfer some data/updates/etc...
Maybe it's easier to understand know what I was trying to ask^^

I found wicd, seems to be exactly what I need.
I should stop posting questions, I'm always finding the answer just after it >_>

WICD-MANAGER-SETTINGS.CONF(5)					File Formats Manual				     WICD-MANAGER-SETTINGS.CONF(5)

NAME
wicd-manager-settings.conf - contains settings that control Wicd's behavior DESCRIPTION
This file contains general configuration information for Wicd. This file is located at /etc/wicd/manager-settings.conf SETTINGS
link_detect_tool = <0|1|2> 0 = autodetect 1 = ethtool 2 = mii-tool flush_tool = <0|1|2> 0 = autodetect 1 = ip 2 = route backend = <ioctl|external> Default is ioctl backend. signal_display_type = <0|1> 0 = Show signal strength as a percentage 1 = Show signal strength in dBm dhcp_client = <0|1|2|3> 0 = autodetect 1 = dhclient 2 = dhcpcd 3 = pump sudo_app = <0|1|2|3> 0 = autodetect 1 = gksu 2 = kdesu 3 = ktsuss wired_interface = <interface_name> always_show_wired_interface = <True|False> wired_connect_mode = <0|1> 0 = connect to wired interface automatically 1 = do not connect to wired interface automatically prefer_wired = <True|False> True = Switch to wired interface if a link is detected, even if already connected to wireless False = Do not switch to wired interface automatically wireless_interface = <name_of_wireless_interface> wpa_driver = <wext|madwifi|ndiswrapper|hostap|hermes|atmel|broadcom|ipw|ralinklegacy|none> The default (and best supported) is wext. It should work properly in most cases. The none special value makes WICD pass no -D parameter to wpa_supplicant, which might be useful in some cases. auto_reconnect = <True|False> This settings determines whether Wicd will attempt to reconnect on connection loss. use_global_dns = <True|False> If set to "True" and values are specified in the global DNS settings below, this will cause Wicd to use these DNS settings. global_dns_dom = <plaintext_domain_name> This specifies the default search domain to be used by the resolver. global_dns_1 = <ip_address> global_dns_2 = <ip_address> global_dns_3 = <ip_address> debug_mode = <integer_value> 0 = disabled 1 = enabled SEE ALSO
