pppoe-connect
PPPOE-CONNECT(8) System Manager's Manual PPPOE-CONNECT(8)
NAME
pppoe-connect - Shell script to manage a PPPoE link
SYNOPSIS
pppoe-connect [config_file]
pppoe-connect interface user [config_file]
DESCRIPTION
pppoe-connect is a shell script which manages a PPPoE connection using the Roaring Penguin user-space PPPoE client. If you omit con-
fig_file, the default file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 is used. If you supply interface and user, then they override the
Ethernet interface and user-name settings in the configuration file.
Note that normally, you should not invoke pppoe-connect directly. Instead, use pppoe-start to bring up the PPPoE connection.
pppoe-connect first reads a configuration file. It then brings up a PPPoE connection. If the connection ever drops, a message is logged
to syslog, and pppoe-connect re-establishes the connection. In addition, each time the connection is dropped or cannot be established,
pppoe-connect executes the script /etc/ppp/pppoe-lost if it exists and is executable.
The shell script pppoe-stop causes pppoe-connect to break out of its loop, bring the connection down, and exit.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
pppoe-connect uses the following shell variables from the configuration file:
ETH The Ethernet interface connected to the DSL modem (for example, eth0).
USER The PPPoE user-id (for example, b1xxnxnx@sympatico.ca).
PIDFILE
A file in which to write the process-ID of the pppoe-connect process (for example, /var/run/pppoe.pid). Two additional files ($PID-
FILE.pppd and $PIDFILE.pppoe) hold the process-ID's of the pppd and pppoe processes, respectively.
By using different configuration files with different PIDFILE settings, you can manage multiple PPPoE connections. Just specify the con-
figuration file as an argument to pppoe-start and pppoe-stop.
