The ppp authors have other ideas. See http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=xoav4qyrakgt.fsf%40sun.com comp.protocols.ppp Re: shouldn't most ip-up jobs be backgrounded? [EMAIL PROTECTED]: maybe you guys could put some recommendations about this in the docs. debian-policy@lists.debian.org: maybe even a debian policy is needed about backgrounding in /etc/ppp/ip-*.d/, shall one package dictate other jobs are to wait for it... to what extent, etc.
