NAME <\/a> <\/h2>\n

pppoe-connect \u2212 Shell script to manage a PPPoE link<\/p>\n

SYNOPSIS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

pppoe-connect<\/b> [config_file<\/i>]<\/p>\n

pppoe-connect<\/b> interface user<\/i> [config_file<\/i>]<\/p>\n

DESCRIPTION <\/a> <\/h2>\n

pppoe-connect<\/b> is a shell script which manages a PPPoE connection using the Roaring Penguin user-space PPPoE client. If you omit config_file<\/i>, the default file \/etc\/ppp\/pppoe.conf<\/b> is used. If you supply interface<\/i> and user<\/i>, then they override the Ethernet interface and user-name settings in the configuration file.<\/p>\n

Note that normally, you should not<\/i> invoke pppoe-connect<\/b> directly. Instead, use pppoe-start<\/b> to bring up the PPPoE connection.<\/p>\n

pppoe-connect<\/b> first reads a configuration file. It then brings up a PPPoE connection. If the connection ever drops, a message is logged to syslog, and pppoe-connect<\/b> re-establishes the connection. In addition, each time the connection is dropped or cannot be established, pppoe-connect<\/b> executes the script \/etc\/ppp\/pppoe-lost<\/b> if it exists and is executable.<\/p>\n

The shell script pppoe-stop<\/b> causes pppoe-connect<\/b> to break out of its loop, bring the connection down, and exit.<\/p>\n

TECHNICAL DETAILS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

pppoe-connect<\/b> uses the following shell variables from the configuration file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

ETH<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

The Ethernet interface connected to the DSL modem (for example, eth0).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

USER<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

The PPPoE user-id (for example, b1xxnxnx@sympatico.ca).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

PIDFILE<\/b><\/p>\n

A file in which to write the process-ID of the pppoe-connect process (for example, \/var\/run\/pppoe.pid<\/b>). Two additional files ($PIDFILE.pppd and $PIDFILE.pppoe) hold the process-ID\u2019s of the pppd<\/b> and pppoe<\/b> processes, respectively.<\/p>\n

By using different configuration files with different PIDFILE settings, you can manage multiple PPPoE connections. Just specify the configuration file as an argument to pppoe-start<\/b> and pppoe-stop<\/b>.<\/p>\n
