Well kind-of... I use the script below to keep PPP up during certain free-
call hours. Just change the PPP process name to radiusd:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
$PPPcommand="ppp -auto bogo";
open( InPipe, "ps -xa|");
# make sure PPP isn't running
for( <InPipe> ) {
$thisProc = $_;
$thisProc =~ /([0-9]+).+\b[0-9]+\b\s(.*)$/;
# $1 is PID; $2 is process name
$PID = $1; $NAME=$2;
if( "$NAME" eq "$PPPcommand" ) {
exit;
}
}
close (InPipe);
# OK - PPP not running - so start it and restart socks
system($PPPcommand);
