We use PPPoE from a Bering firewall for our Internet connection, with a
static IP address. The problem is that some times, the pppd stops.
I set it up to restart the connection automatically (persist). I tested it
with temporarily unplugging the modem, and the connection is restarted
nicely.
However, about once a week, the link fails (probably a provider problem)
I get
Jan 28 07:10:00 firewall pppd[6768]: No response to 3 echo-requests
After that, ppp shuts down and ipsec is stopped:
Jan 28 07:10:00 firewall pppd[6768]: Serial link appears to be disconnected.
[snip]
Jan 28 07:10:00 firewall ipsec_setup: Stopping FreeS/WAN IPsec...
[snip]
Jan 28 07:10:06 firewall pppd[6768]: Connection terminated.
Jan 28 07:10:06 firewall pppd[6768]: Connect time 9715.6 minutes.

795001264 bytes.
Jan 28 07:10:06 firewall pppd[6768]: Doing disconnect
The pppd then tries to reopen the connection, as it is told:
Jan 28 07:10:36 firewall pppd[6768]: Sending PADI
Jan 28 07:10:42 firewall pppd[6768]: HOST_UNIQ successful match
Jan 28 07:10:42 firewall pppd[6768]: Tag error: TAG_SYS_ERR
Jan 28 07:10:42 firewall pppd[6768]: Failed to negotiate PPPoE connection:
11 Resource temporarily unavailable
Jan 28 07:10:42 firewall pppd[6768]: Exit.
Only to fail miserably! How can it exit when I told it to persist?
Does anybody know how I can tell the pppd to never ever exit and always
retry?
Or does anyone have a decent watchdog script to restart pppd after failure?
Thanks
Alex
