please help... how to auto login to sify broadband in ubuntu linux

cyneuron

Disciple
hi guys..

i have sify broadband connection. i am using sify's older linux client to login to sify broadband (i asked customer care and they allowed my ip to use older client as they don't have latest sify client for linux).

now the problem is making login process automatic during boot.

right now , i have to do this every time i log on ;

1. sudo sifd

2. sudo sifyconnect -l

(then it asks for userid and password).
i read on this website a way of making this process automatic.

Broadband Howto - Ubuntu India

but this is somehow is not working or may be i am not doing it right.

i have done same as it says,

i made a file "sify.sh" in /usr/bin. i have written this in the file :

$ sifyd
$ echo -e 'cyneuron\n******' | sifyconnect -l

i suspect the commas here before and after user name and passwords. is it right ?

then i added

$ bash sify.sh

to /etc/rc.local file.

in this file a line was there :

exit 0
i added $ bash sify.sh first before this line and then after, but both time no benefit.
please suggest me any other way of doing it, as i have to repeat the login process every time.
