I use a simple sript to monitor my ISDN connection - you may be able to
extend the logic to cover a PPP connect - your PPP device is probably PPP0,
where my sript looks for APS0 - my ISDN device.
----- Cut Here ----
#!/bin/bash
if $(/sbin/ifconfig aps0 2>&1 | grep "unknown" >/dev/null)
then
echo isdn down
# code to bring up connection
/usr/bin/inet.up
else
echo isdn up
# you could do something here - knowing that connect is up.
fi
----------- End of Script -----------
I run this as a cron job every 5 minutes - to reestablish a connect should
it get interrupted. You could use it to monitor your PPP device and tale
appropriate action ...
aloha,
