ppp-watch ? daemon to make PPP interfaces act more like other interfaces |
ppp-watch interface-name interface-name [boot] |
ppp-watch manages one PPP connection, including starting, stopping, and redialing. It makes starting and stopping the connection synchronous activities. ppp-watch is not really meant to be called directly. It should only be used from within the ifup-ppp script. |
interface-name |
The name of the PPP interface to bring up. |
boot |
ppp-watch is being called at boot time and should time out after a while if the PPP connection does not come up in order not to hang the boot sequence. |
