I have pppd run automatically from cron. It checks to see if the port is already locked, and if not it starts processing. So what I see in messages file is: Sep 29 08:00:01 bmccane pppd[13936]: Device cuaa1 is locked by pid 75 Sep 29 08:00:01 bmccane last message repeated 13 times Sep 29 08:00:01 bmccane pppd[12853]: Device cuaa1 is locked by pid 75 Sep 29 08:00:01 bmccane last message repeated 9 times Sep 29 08:00:01 bmccane pppd[13936]: Device cuaa1 is locked by pid 75 Sep 29 08:00:01 bmccane last message repeated 25 times Sep 29 08:00:03 bmccane pppd[12853]: Device cuaa1 is locked by pid 75 Nice to know that even without a valid `pid' file in /var/run, the port is still locked. This also happens after I try to kill the #*$(&% program. brian
