Hi I have a permanent internet connection using modems. Every now and then I loose my connection, or at least, I loose the IP but I remain connected. If I reboot my box, I come back online with the IP address and everything works 100%, then a while later the IP dissapears but I remain connected.
I have found 2 ways to resolve this, either reboot the server or write a script that kills and restarts ppp, I am using userland-ppp. What I would like to do is the following. create a script that runs contineously in the background, checking on the IP address every 5 minutes, and if it's not there, run a script to kill and restart ppp. I have no clue where to start on this. I'd appreciate any info on writing something or pointing me in the right direction to resolve this problem.
