I have the following command at the end of /etc/rc.local to start up a PPP uplink for a customer to the Internet: /usr/sbin/pppd connect /etc/ppp/call.skypoint defaultroute /dev/cuaa0 115200 The "call.skypoint" script usese chat(1) to establish the link and negotiate a login to the Portmaster terminal server. Here is the contents of the "/etc/ppp/options" file: crtscts modem lock It works great -- brings up the link right after booting and things seem happy -- until the link drops, and then, unlike the slattach that I am more used to, it doesn't bring it up again. Since I am on the other side of the link, I am unable to see anything about the system state at that time. Does pppd not reconnect? Does it just exit and that's it? Do I need some sort of script to detect when pppd exits and re-issue the command to start it? Or is there an option that I missed that will instruct it to reconnect? I have read the man page on pppd and the ppp.FAQ, but didn't get any help on this issue from either one...
