If you omit -\fIconfig_file\fR, the default file \fB/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf\fR is used. -If you supply \fIinterface\fR and \fIuser\fR, then they override the -Ethernet interface and user-name settings in the configuration file. -.P -Note that normally, you should \fInot\fR invoke \fBpppoe-connect\fR -directly. Instead, use \fBpppoe-start\fR to bring up the PPPoE connection. -.P -\fBpppoe-connect\fR first reads a configuration file. It then brings -up a PPPoE connection. If the connection ever drops, a message is logged -to syslog, and \fBpppoe-connect\fR re-establishes the connection. In addition, -each time the connection is dropped or cannot be established, -\fBpppoe-connect\fR executes the script \fB/etc/ppp/pppoe-lost\fR if it -exists and is executable. - -.P -The shell script \fBpppoe-stop\fR causes \fBpppoe-connect\fR to break out -of its loop, bring the connection down, and exit. - -.SH TECHNICAL DETAILS -\fBpppoe-connect\fR uses the following shell variables from the -configuration file: - -.TP -.B ETH -The Ethernet interface connected to the DSL modem (for example, eth0). - -.TP -.B USER -The PPPoE user-id (for example, b1xxnxnx@sympatico.ca). - -.TP -.B PIDFILE -A file in which to write the process-ID of the pppoe-connect process -(for example, \fB/var/run/pppoe.pid\fR). Two additional files -($PIDFILE.pppd and $PIDFILE.pppoe) hold the process-ID's of the -\fBpppd\fR and \fBpppoe\fR processes, respectively. - -.P -By using different configuration files with different PIDFILE -settings, you can manage multiple PPPoE connections. Just specify the -configuration file as an argument to \fBpppoe-start\fR and -\fBpppoe-stop\fR. - -.SH AUTHOR -\fBpppoe-connect\fR was written by David F.
