Greetings,
I have a wee problem - when our pppd daemon goes down as it sometimes does I want it to re-start automatically.
At the moment I have a script which checks whether the daemon is running and restarts it if it goes down. This check is done every sixty seconds and uses system resources.
I suppose this is fine, but I would like it to restart instantly.
I have an entry in the innitab file which I think should respawn the process but it doesn't. The following is the line from the inittab file:
pp:3:respawn:/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/cua0 19200 passive lock crtscts defaultroute 194.125.117.1:
Where am I going wrong
I am currently running Linux 1.3.97 with a 19200 modem.
Thanks in advance
Robert.
