If you are fortunate enough to have a semi permanent connection to the net and would like to have your machine automatically redial your PPP connection if it is lost then here is a simple trick to do so.
Configure PPP such that it can be started by the
root
user by issuing the command:
Be sure
that you have the `
-detach
' option configured in your
/etc/ppp/options
file. Then, insert the following line into your
/etc/inittab
file, down with the
getty
definitions:
pd:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/pppd
|
This will cause the
init
program to spawn and monitor the
pppd
program and automatically restart it if it dies.
