When the firewall restarts all the rules are flushed so your ssh connection can not continue as their is no rule to allow that.
This results in a 2 second delay, not in a connection drop. When I restart my firewall script, which also recreates all rules, the SSH don't stop, independent if I'm dialed-up or not. Ohh, and please note, it can be dangerous, when you do a restart on a shell, ssh gets closed and dropped, there is no controlling terminal and the script execution stops - at closed SSH...
If you want to manually start the dialin process ( why you want it is not clear for my understaning) you may use a serial console access which is not affected by the firewall rules
Hum, a serial line as workaround for a script bug?! Strange, I would suggest to fix the bug... Maybe the problem has to do with /etc/ppp/ip-up, which is not very easy to analyze. Read it and add some logger statements. Afterwards, check syslog to get hints. Or try to start /etc/ppp/ip-up with correct parameters from command line, maybe prefixed with a "bash -x" and see what happens. oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
