NAME
pppupd - maintain a dialup PPP connection
SYNOPSIS
pppupd
DESCRIPTION
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
