Hi,
OK, misunderstod, sorry. Try to start your ppp session via the following
script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (1) {
if (-e '/var/run/ppp0.pid'){
sleep 60;
}
else {
system "/etc/ppp/ppp-on";
}
}
It checks, if ppp0 exist.
If yes it sleeps for 60 seconds and checks again.
If no it starts /etc/ppp/ppp-on (or whatever script you use to connect)
Hope this helps
Bernhard
