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 >_>
