I had the same problem, did a little debugging, and noticed that if DEMAND is not set, ifdown will kill -TERM pppd instead of ppp-watch, and ppp-watch will then happily redial. Apply this one-liner patch to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-ppp, or explicitly set DEMAND=no in the ifcfg or somewhere. --- ifdown-ppp.old Fri Aug 18 16:38:10 2000 +++ ifdown-ppp Tue Oct 3 03:18:51 2000 @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ CONFIG=$1 source_config -if [ "${DEMAND}" != no -a -f /var/run/ppp-${DEVICE}.pid ] ; then +if [ "${DEMAND}" = yes -a -f /var/run/ppp-${DEVICE}.pid ] ; then PID=`head -1 /var/run/ppp-${DEVICE}.pid` kill -TERM ${PID} sleep 2 This will be fixed in 5.60-1; thanks! |
