Here is my situation. I have a small (6 machine) network that connects
to the Internet via the on-demand feature of the ijppp using the tun0
device. For the most part things are working fine..
 
The one problem I'm having is the fact that every day or so the ppp
process just seems to terminate all by itself. I've rechecked the
configs and they seem to be fine - I think..
 
Anyone have a clue why this would happen? 
 
If not, anyone have a script that would be able to check to see if the
process is there and reload/reboot if it isn't ??
 
Thanks in advance..
