Edit your /etc/inittab

Add: "dd:2345:respawn: /usr/sbin/diald -daemon"

Then remove your entry where you kick over diald on reboot (probably
/etc/rc.d/rc.local or something like that)

                Hello!

        I have successfully run diald for a monthes but about a week ago
it
        began to die periodically (about 1/day) while closing down the
link. I
        didn't change diald.conf for a long time
         
        Here is a diald.log example:

        Oct 28 01:13:12 comhost diald[279]: Closing down idle link.
        Oct 28 01:13:12 comhost diald[279]: running '/sbin/ifconfig sl0

        up'
        Oct 28 01:13:12 comhost diald[279]: SIGCHLD[158]: pid 4837
system,
        status 0
        Oct 28 01:13:12 comhost diald[279]: Setting pointopoint route
for sl0
        Oct 28 01:13:12 comhost diald[279]: running '/sbin/route add
        193.242.93.97 metric 1 window 3192 dev sl0'
        Oct 28 01:13:12 comhost diald[279]: SIGCHLD[159]: pid 4843
system,
        status 0
        Oct 28 01:13:12 comhost diald[279]: Establishing routes for sl0
        Oct 28 01:13:12 comhost diald[279]: running '/sbin/route add
default
        metric 1 window 3192 dev sl0'
        Oct 28 01:13:13 comhost diald[279]: SIGCHLD[160]: pid 4844
system,
        status 0
        Oct 28 01:13:13 comhost diald[279]: Removing routes for ppp2
        Oct 28 01:13:13 comhost diald[279]: running '/sbin/route del
default
        metric 0 dev ppp2'
        Oct 28 01:13:13 comhost diald[279]: SIGCHLD[161]: pid 4845
system,
        status 0

        That's all. No any messages more. No coredump. It looks like
diald be
        killed but nobody kill it. 

        I examined diald source code and found that the last 3 lines are
        produced by del_routes function from route.c. But del_routes has
lineral
        algorythm! The statement after the system call '/sbin/route del
default
        metric 0 dev ppp2' is another syslog write which is not logged!
                
        diald 0.16 compiled by gcc 2.7.2.3
        pppd 2.3.5
        Linux kernel 2.0.36
        Hardware works fine


        Any hints?
