Subject:   PPP test script
Message-ID:  <199504070132.SAA19689@netcom.netcom.com>

Here is a PPP script that will test to see if my ppp connection is up
and if it isn't will kill pppd and restart ppp.

It works for me under freebsd 2.0. I thought someone else may be able to 
use it.

Sameer@c2.org helped me with it.

if [ `ping -c 5 decker | grep "packet loss" | awk '{ print $4 }'` -gt 0 ]
then
  echo "PPP up"
else
ps ax |grep pppd |grep -v grep
   pid=`ps ax |grep pppd |grep -v grep|awk '{print $1;}'`
       if [ "X${pid}" != "X" ] ; then
             echo 'killing pppd, PID=' ${pid}
                     kill ${pid}
                     sleep 15
       fi       
# Bring up ppp
/etc/ppplogin
fi
