next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I am going to be running a server that will have a full time connection to the internet via a modem and dedicated line. My question is this: Is there a simple way for me to set it up so that it will monitor the modem and automatically restart the connection if it detects a disconnect? The server will be accepting incoming requests, so simply setting it up to dial whenever the connection is needed is not good enough. Basically what I need is something that can monitor the modem, and automatically restart the connection if it dies.. Could this be done through a simple shell script maybe? Please try to explain in relativly simple terms as I am pretty new to FreeBSD and UNIX in general. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike.
