Date: Fri, 30 Aug 1996 20:25:35 GMT Organization: 100% Software Solutions Lines: 16 Message-ID: <507iud$m6r@news-2.csn.net> Reply-To: admin@softsolut.com NNTP-Posting-Host: 198.49.96.6 X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 I've got a FRAD that keeps bouncing our frame circuit, but all i have to do it kill and restart the pppd and it works again. I'd like to be able to background a ping, but it won't do it from a script. It always suspends or stops. I tried to compile fping, but it seems too damn tempermental to behave (or even to compile) Anyone got some nifty solution for this???
