reconnecting using pppd with modem Sagem F@st
Hi!
I'm using openSuSE 10.2. I'm connecting to internet using 'usr/sbin/pppd call eagle-atm', in my /etc/init.d/boot.local. Everything works fine. What I would like to know how can I break such a connection so I can reconnect later on. I tried to read the manual for pppd, but I couldn't find what I need. Is there a simple bash command for that? I know I could use kinternet for that, but it would mean reconfiguring everything from scratch, and I'm not feeling very adventurous at the moment :P Can anyone help? Thanks :D |

killall /usr/sbin/pppd if the process is not killed softly run : killall -9 /usr/sbin/pppd which is more radical. And to reconnect later re-run as root: /usr/sbin/pppd call eagle-atm & The '&' character put the process in background running task. If you don't want to be root to do that, use sudo and give a user the permission to run these commands. see 'man sudo'. Have a good day. |
I'm fighting with configuring 'sudo' right now, but it seems this will do the trick. Thanks :)
