Hi.

To get my ADSL connection running, I am using a daemon who forks a parent=20
process and a child process. That process is started from /etc/ifconfig.ppp=
oe0 .=20
Its name is pppoa2 and it is used to negociate PPPoA protocol from/to the m=
odem=20
driver, USB speedtouch.

After the connection is successfully established, the child is killed by si=
gnal=20
1 after the system has started. I don't know from where the signal comes.

By killing the parent and restarting the daemon brings the connection up ag=
ain.

What kills the child process?

Are some processes supposed to be killed to reload their configurations or=
=20
something at system startup?

Thanks in advance.
