#3 modem_run terminates on startup

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I installed speedtouch 1.3 having run speedtouch 1.1
with stability for 2 years or so.

1.3 ran correctly the first time, and had been up since
Aug 4 with no probs, occasionally modem_run would
report ADSL link down and up as per normal.

However last night, the internet connection died and i
have a cron script that runs every 6 hrs to detect this.
It terminates pppd, modem_run, and unloads usb-uhci.
then reloads.

This happen last night, however when modem_run is
rerun, it terminates straight away only leaving :

modem_run[22451]: modem_run version 1.3 started by
root

in the syslog.

No flashing of modem lights.

Uping verbose to -v 2 - no change in syslog output.

When i switch back to modem_run 1.1 - it works
perfectly.

Linux 2.4.26.
I have recently upgraded to binutils 2.15 - recompiled
modem_run - no difference.

Anyone any ideas?

with me is the same. The modem_run returns non-zero and
the speedtouch-start script crash. But, nothing is reported, I
use the -v 2 and nothing apears.

I this that's something before modem_run, something needs
by modem_run, anything in usb port. I have tested in
slackware and slax distro, the same trouble apears.

In my slackware 10 was ok, but this error is in version 10.2
with kernel 2.6.13

I will test in old kernel 2.4, I hope to work.

modem_run creates a shared variable to store the current
state of the line etc. If it finds it there on startup, it
just exits with the appropriate status. The problem is that
it never destroys the shared variable, so if you kill and
restart it it will not run at all.
Should report it as a bug, I guess, however I should be able
to submit a patch to fix it "any time soon".
