Well, here is a little script I use for adsl monitoring. #!/bin/bash
ping -c2 192.115.133.185 if [ "$?" != "0" ]; then poff -a killall pppd killall pptp rm -rf /var/run/pptp rm -rf /var/lock/LCK..pts_0 sleep 5 /usr/sbin/pptp 10.0.0.138 --quirks BEZEQ_ISRAEL user [EMAIL PROTECTED] persist defaultroute noauth fi I execute it via crontab every 15 min and it works without problems. Try it if you want.

Does anyone have a better solution?
