Whether on success or failure, /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 always returns a non-zero value. My networking init script has hooks in place for PPPoE for my DSL connection. This bug was discovered while attempting to automate some system administration tasks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a machine connected to an aDSL line using PPPoE (possibly without, needs verification) that will successfully acquire a connection 2. # /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 start 3. # echo $? 4. observe that the return value is not zero (unexpected in a successful case) 5. # /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 stop 6. disconnect aDSL modem from the telephone line to test failure case 7. # /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 start 8. wait for init script to fail in attempt to acquire a connection 9. # echo $? 10. observe that the return value is not zero (as expected in a failure case) Actual Results: A successful connection on the interface returns a non-zero value Expected Results: A successful connection on the interface should return a zero value

Your ppp configuration will also determine the return value. If the configuration simply launches ppp and it connects in the background (which is the default) then it will always return 1. This is because at the point it returns the ppp interface isn't fully started. Attach your conf.d/net please
/etc/conf.d/net: config_eth0=( "null" ) config_ppp0=( "ppp" ) link_ppp0="eth0" plugins_ppp0=( "pppoe" ) username_ppp0="ccstewart1982@atl.speedfactory.net" pppd_ppp0=( "debug" "defaultroute" "updetach" "lcp-echo-interval 25" "lcp-echo-failure 3" "mru 1452" "mtu 1452" "persist" "maxfail 0" ) modules_ppp0=( "dhcpcd" ) dhcpcd_ppp0="-NR"
As I said, updetach will do this. Don't like it, don't use that option.
