Hi, |

I recently did update my machine (didn't do so for a year <mehide> :) . |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
It is likely that I messed up some things because I'm still not that |
| 7 |
familiar with portage/emerge as I should be, but I call this "learning |
| 8 |
by doing" ;-) . |

Today I'd ask for help concerning adsl. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
My machine automatically connects during boot, and this works great. |
| 13 |
When I shutdown the machine, I get an error that adsl doesn't seem to |
| 14 |
run. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
When trying to do an adsl-stop manually, I evenly get this message: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
adsl-stop: No ADSL connection appears to be running |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
adsl-status is a bit more verbose: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
adsl-status: Link is down (can't read pppoe PID |
| 23 |
file /var/run/pppoe.conf-adsl.pid.pppoe) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
And in fact, the file that the script is looking for simply doesn't |
| 26 |
exist: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
ls /var/run/ | grep adsl |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
63-adsl.pid |
| 31 |
63-adsl.pid.pppd |
| 32 |
63-adsl.pid.pppoe |
| 33 |
pppoe.conf-adsl.pid.start |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I checked /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf and found the following lines: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
CF_BASE=`basename $CONFIG` |
| 38 |
PIDFILE="/var/run/$CF_BASE-adsl.pid" |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
It appears to me that adsl-start creates another file that is searched |
| 41 |
by adsl-status or adsl-stop. But I wonder how this can be fixed? |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I really prefer to be able to kill my adsl connection without shutting |
| 44 |
down the machine, so any hints (even RTFM) are much appreciated. |
| 45 |

Best regards |
