pppupd8

Usage

Overview

PPPupd , is a simple daemon which maintains a dialup PPP connection. PPPupd is able to:

+ Execute a redial script, should the connection drop.

+ Send out periodic pings to keep a connection up, which might be disconnected by unruly ISP's who kick their well paying members off, after a predetermined number of minutes of inactivity.

+ Send logs to stdout, a log file, or syslog, or all three.

PPPupd's real strength lies in the ability to configure it easily. Upon startup, pppupd will read the contents of a configuration file ( pppupd.cf by default) and execute scripts, ping, or whatever accordingly.

Files

/etc/pppupd.cf the configuration file.

/usr/sbin/pppupd the pppupd daemon itself.

/var/log/pppupd.log log file
