When the connection fails do a ps -uax | grep pppd and look
for the ppp process, then do a kill -9 PID# of pppd. Or look
in /var/run and see if the pid # of the pppd process is there
and try killing it before starting the connection sequence again.
pppd doesn't like to die when the connection fails. I've got a
script that will do this that i run continuously from a cron
process to keep my ppp connection going:
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/etc:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin
LOGFILE=/var/log/ppp.log
export PATH LOGFILE
if [ `ping -c 5 PPP_PROVIDER | grep "packet loss" | awk '{
print $4 }'` -eq 0 ] ;then
kill `cat /var/run/ppp0.pid`
sleep 15
/etc/ppplogin
datestamp=`date "+%b %e %H:%M:%S"`
host=`hostname`
echo "$datestamp $host $0[$$]: pppd restarted" >> $LOGFILE
fi
exit
