Subject: disconnect
Date: Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:45:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <W6009161227901215107101@webmail35> (raw)
A member of this group helped me set up a pppd server that will reconnect
when disconnected. It is more elaborate than this but basically
while :
do
pppd call .......
sleep 30 # pause before retry
done
then I killed the pptp process and watched it start up again.
The one problem is, the owner of the VPN said it didn't disconnect
correctly so I soon used up all the IP addresses in the IP pool.
Is there a way if a pppd or pptp process dies, to send a normal
exit or disconnect so this won't happen?
