dpinger fails to restart after a PPPoE link recycle

[cpw]

Hi
I have an annoyingly unreliable DSL/PPPoE link to upstream. It loses signal fairly regularly and needs to reauthenticate and rebuild the interface.

DPinger does NOT like this. Every time, since about the 23.7 series, I have to manually restart the dpinger processes (ipv4 and ipv6 monitors) monitoring the status of the link. The link itself comes back very reliably - a blessing I suppose - but dpinger is convinced its dead. I have previously solved this by monitoring the dpinger processes - but those don't seem to actually terminate anymore, just the monitoring.

At 16:19 the DSL link went down and recycled - it came up at 16:20:36 - right before both dpinger processes died. Except they were still running - monit failed to detect that they had changed state at all.

It seems that dpinger is wedging somehow. How would I go about debugging this situation - I'm pretty sure I can cause this problem fairly easily by just unplugging the phone cable from the DSL modem, but I don't know how to debug. I have "debugging" turned on in the log file but nothing shows up.

Hello,

I have same problem with 40 FW and Multi WAN (principal link  FTTx and second link rescue 4G)
The ISP interupt PPPoE session in the nigth (for a link maintenance on FTTx) and after that link is up the gateway is always down.
I have to restart the gateway manually.
Otherwise the principal gateway never goes back to up.

Did you find a solution for you please ?

Best regards.
