Hallo,
My ppp-off script at one stage worked well, but now it will no longer
reset my modem while removing the ppp-link. I do not know what I did
to cause it. It will run and give the message "ppp0 link terminated",
but it would not reset the modem so the telephone line stays
connected. How can I rewrite it to reset the modem?
My ppp-off script looks like this:
#/usr/sbin/ppp-off------------------
#!/bin/sh
DEVICE=ppp0
#
# If the ppp0 pid file is present then the program is running. Stop it.
if [ -r /var/run/$DEVICE.pid ]; then
kill -INT `cat /var/run/$DEVICE.pid`
#
# If unsuccessful, ensure that the pid file is removed.
#
if [ ! "$?" = "0" ]; then
echo "removing stale $DEVICE pid file."
rm -f /var/run/$DEVICE.pid
exit 1
fi
#
# Success. Terminate with proper status.
#
echo "$DEVICE link terminated"
exit 0
fi
#
# The link is not active
#
echo "$DEVICE link is not active"
exit 1
#--------END
and my dialup script looks like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
modprobe ppp
pppd connect 'chat -v "" ATX1DT424714 CONNECT' \
/dev/ttyS3 57600 noipdefault debug crtscts modem defaultroute user
jhspies +ua /etc/ppp/pap-secrets &
sleep 45s #The approximate time it takes for the ISP to be ready
runq &
popclient -v
mailq
Can somebody help please?
Also, if there is a better way of handling the delay on the ISP side
after connection, I would like to know how to handle it.
Johann.
