The documentation of the ppp package suggests that using
/etc/ppp/pppoe_on_boot (or ppp_on_boot for the matter) is deprecated and
users should instead set up the PPP connections in
/etc/network/interfaces as "auto". The init-script which used this file
in the past also doesn't exist anymore as far as I can see. So posting
#8 looks more like a workaround than a solution for the problem.
Another workaround would be to exclude the PPP connections from being
killed by Upstart by changing the post-stop action in /etc/init/network-
interface.conf to something like:
post-stop script
if [ "$INTERFACE" != ppp1 -a "$INTERFACE" != ppp2 ]; then
exec ifdown --allow auto $INTERFACE
fi
end script
However this is completely untested.
Be aware that up to and including Ubuntu 10.04, network-interface.conf is not
set up as a configuration file in DPKG and therefore gets overwritten at each
update without further notice.
