Hi Darrick
I've just had a quick look at the pppoe-start script, and I'm not
totally sure (only know enough to be dangerous, but learning), doesn't
the script already check for a valid pid and exit the script if found.
if [ -r "$PIDFILE" ] ; then
PID=`cat "$PIDFILE"`
# Check if still running
kill -0 $PID > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
$ECHO "$ME: There already seems to be a PPPoE connection up (PID
$PID)"$
exit 1
fi
# Delete bogus PIDFILE
rm -f "$PIDFILE" "$PIDFILE.pppd" "$PIDFILE.pppoe" "$PIDFILE.start"
fi
Regards Guy

It would make a whole lot more sense to write a script that checks if
the pppoe connection is up, then issue a start (or restart) if it's
down.
