poff wont poff
Hi, Running kernel 2.2.5-ac3 , potato ( unstable ). poff version 0.9.4 poff myisp refuses to poff - kill my connection, and it reports the following /usr/bin/poff i could not find a pppd process for provider 'myisp' . none stopped but poff by itself does work. Now i have checked my processes running and indeed there was an entry /usr/sbin/pppd call myisp listed. not a big problem i modified my downscript to just use poff but it seems something isnt doing what was expected. Cheers

I have two numbers that I use to access my isp, I use pon and Pon provider2 to access the 56K and 33.x lines. To bring either connection down I simply use poff I think this is normal. hth, kent
Re: poff wont poff
All poff does is execute a killall pppd command, therefore it requires no arguments, as it will take down any pppd link, regardless of how that link was established.

You're right. There appears to be a bug in poff. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI

He is using the ppp package from unstable. The poff in it is quite a bit more complicated, and he has found a bug in it. I've already filed a bug report with a patch. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
