Using initscripts-4.8[34] ppp-watch does not detach the console when started from xterm using the command `/sbin/ifup ppp0'. When the connection is stopped by `/sbin/ifdown ppp0' (from another xterm) I get the message: Failed to activate ppp0 with error 5 (or something like that, written from memory). I get the same message when killing the connection with Ctrl-C. The last initscripts I used was version 4.70, which did not have this problem.
