I have set up an /etc/ppp/dialer (chat script) and /etc/ppp/options so
that I can just type pppd and it will connect. However, I wanted to make
it so when pppd dies it will automatically get restarted. I tried this:
ttyv5 "/usr/sbin/pppd" cons25 off secure
(obviously I had off turned to on when I tried to get it to work)
in my /etc/ttys file. This spawned like five pppd's so I added a
-detach flag to the options file to make it stay in the foreground.
Now it more or less starts but chat logs alarm and dies every time
I try to connect. I even added a sleep 15 to /etc/ppp/dialer right
before the chat command so the modem has time to do whatever it needs
to do, to no avail. I can still connect with a pppd command. Here are
my dialer and options files:
#!/bin/sh
#chat connection script for pppd
sleep 15
exec chat -v \
TIMEOUT 5 \
'' \rAT \
'OK-+++\c-OK' ATH0 \
TIMEOUT 30 \
OK ATDT348-6272 \
CONNECT '' \

#pppd options file
0.0.0.0:0.0.0.0 # let the server worry about it
/dev/cuaa3 38400 # modem and speed to use
crtscts # enable hardware flow control
modem # modem control line
passive # wait for LCP packets
defaultroute # make ppp the default router
connect /etc/ppp/dialer # dial first! :-)
-detach # foreground please
Anyone have any ideas on why it is not working?
