Package: gcom
Version: 0.3-1
Severity: normal
Using the sigmon script, belonging to the gcom package, kills pppd
started with wvdial.
Steps to reproduce the problem in my system:
1) sigmon can be used to monitor signal strength. Nothing seems to be
killed while pppd is not running.
2) wvdial should be configured. Here's the contents of my
/etc/wvdial.conf:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATM1L1
Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99***1#
Modem = /dev/modem
Baud = 460800
Username = ''
Password = ''
I symlink'ed /dev/modem to /dev/ttyUSB0.
3) Fire up wvdial. After a few seconds the connection is established.
Doing a 'ps auxw' to see running processes reports that the pppd
command line reads:
/usr/sbin/pppd 460800 modem crtscts defaultroute usehostname \
-detach user '' noipdefault call wvdial usepeerdns idle 0 logfd 6
4) At any time after this, fire up sigmon. It begins to probe the signal
strength. pppd is killed as soon as the script is started and connection
is lost.
