Topic: Disconnecting PPPoE session

[Steve W]

Greetings,

My ISP offers unlimited bandwidth during offpeak times (0200-1000). In order to take advantage you must disconnect and reconnect within this period.

Although I am a newbie, I do understand how to modify my Cron files, and where they're located.

So, therefore, my question is what is/are the best command(s) to use to disconnect my pppoe session and subsequently reconnect. Is there a graceful way to do this, so as to minimize my visitor's interruption? I'm currently running SME 5.6.

Thanks so much for your help.

"svc -d /service/pppoe" to shut down and "svc -u /service/pppoe" to bring up the link.

Not that I'm aware of.
