Well, u need to delete /var/run/pptp/10.0.0.138 for it to understand it was killed.
here is my 2 scripts i wrote to do the adsl connection. it lacks elegance, but it
worked for me without a problem for a year now.
My point here, is the timming play which i think is important. This is because the
ISPs frequently have
problems on various locations on the way to the isp itself and from the ISP, and i
learned that you cannot
trust pppd to tell u when the line is down. there is alway something new. this way, u
give them reasonable
time to recooperate without downing the line too soon.
I made the script on a trial and error basis until i got the timming right, which
works with any ISP that downs
his line for 2 minutes after midnight or things like that.
