I have a line in my /etc/ttys that keeps my ppp connection alive: cuaa3 "/usr/sbin/pppd -detach" unknown on insecure And I kill -HUP 1 and it starts running fine. The problem starts when I want to turn it off. I tried kill -HUPing it after commenting the line out and it will still start over and over again. I even tried removing the line altogether and then kill -HUP, still it keeps spawning.
