how to monitor pppd?

[Tuan Hoang]

Hi,

I have an application that requires a PPP (null modem) to another machine.
I plan to fork a process that launches pppd with the appropriate options.
Aside from looping and doing a "ps", is there a way for the fork'ed
process to monitor pppd and make sure that it is still running?

Thanks,
Tuan
