The script I use is the following:
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (1) {
if (-e '/var/run/ppp0.pid'){
sleep 60;
}
else {
system "/etc/ppp/ppp-on";
sleep 60;
}
}
What it does is:
Check, if ppp0 is present,
if yes do nothing and do check again in 60 second
if no run /etc/ppp/ppp-on
then wait 60 seconds and go to the checking again
Hope this helps.
Regards
Bernhard
