This behaviour is NOT present when pppd is not set to persist.
ii ppp 2.4.3-20050321 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) daemon
On Kernel 2.4.23, if it makes any difference...
Extract from /var/log/syslog:
Apr 18 02:32:33 saturn pppd[12995]: Connection terminated. Apr 18 02:32:33 saturn pppd[12995]: tcflush failed: Bad file descriptor Apr 18 02:32:33 saturn pppd[12995]: Modem hangup Apr 18 02:32:33 saturn /etc/hotplug/net.agent: invoke ifdown ppp0 Apr 18 02:32:43 saturn pppd[12995]: tcsetattr: Invalid argument (line 964) Apr 18 02:32:43 saturn pppd[12995]: Exit.
A quick-and-very(very)-dirty fix I've been using for the last month: Add this to your crontab: if [ ! -e /var/run/ppp0.pid ]; then /usr/bin/pon; fi
Not the nicest solution, and probably prone to race conditions in some circumstances, but at least it works... I'm using this on a connection that *must* stay up...
Cheers, Peter Dey
