Hi,
I'm trying to write a script which will disconnect my
pppd when my downloader (Web Downloader for X 1.18)
finishes.
My script looks like this :
kill -9 'cat /var/run/ppp0.pid'
The thing is, that my port /dev/ttyS2 changes
permissions when I use that script. It is usually set
to rw-rw-rw which enables me to write to it and after
running the script it changes to rw-r--r-- which makes
me unable to use it unless I am logged as root.
The other thing is that my ttyS2's group is uucp while
all the other ttySs belong to group tty. Thats the way
RedHar had installed it. Is there a reason for that ?
I don't know the Linux ppp mechanism well enough to
understand y it changes permissions ( and I will
appreciate an explanation) but is there anything wrong
with killing my pppd the way I do ?
Thanks
Erez
