how to update start_if.tun0 with out rebooting?

Author: reiner

I've set-up my ppp by following the instruction in http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/userppp.html . Now Im subcribed in 2 ISP's, the other is for backup incase the other ISP is down. My /etc/start_if.tun0 script looks like this:

ppp -auto myISP1
#ppp -auto myISP2

so when I want to dial-up to my ISP1, I'll just comment ppp -auto myISP2 or vice versa, then reboot the system. Now my question is how do I do that without rebooting the system? is it possible?

thanks,
reiner

cd /etc
chmod +x start_if.tun0

killall -HUP ppp (if it is already running)

ps ax | grep ppp

until ppp doesn't show up

vi start_if.tun0

make changes

./start_if.tun0

to activate changes
