hi folks,

I run some machines connected by pppoe to the Deutsche Telekom network.
I made a cron job that checks if the connection is down and if it is for some time it does a 

ifconfig pppoe0 down
sleep 5
ifconfig pppoe0 up

but sometimes only a "/etc/rc.d/network restart" helps.

Is there a fix for that?

Dave

PS: Yes I use "/usr/sbin/ifwatchd -u /etc/ppp/ip-up -d /etc/ppp/ip-down pppoe0",
but that does not work always...
