well the patch works in one situation and doesnt in other, suppose if ftth modem is up and running and i pull wan plug cable from it to pfsense and then replug after sometime then connection comes back up, the other situation in which if i reset the ftth modem or power off that and repower on then while the modem is initializing, after in a few seconds the interface shows linkup and then mpd starts reconnecting but then it goes on for ever and never reconnects.
in summary, if modem is up and running and interface goes through link down and link up then it connects fine but suppose if the modem is rebooting then the interface link down and link up happens soon enough and mpd tries to reconnect but till then the modem isnt yet completely up and in that mpd never reconnects, even then when modem is completely up and i pull wan cable and reconnect then also it never reconnects unless pfsense is rebooted.

i think mpd doesnt completely exit before a new one is created or something like that, probably it needs to completely exit and detach from interface before a new one is created

Try putting a sleep(5) after the killbypid call.

@ermal:
Try putting a sleep(5) after the killbypid call.
ill try that but i think the if statement doesnt come out true so probably its not killing mpd because the logs appear same before and after the patch plus even with modem up after some while and i try cable unplug and replug it still wont work
-
i tried sleep as well as that if statement i put in some logging and it seems that if statement never turns out to be true so the kill command isnt executed
-
i tried sleep as well as that if statement i put in some logging and it seems that if statement never turns out to be true so the kill command isnt exucuted
Did you try leaving out the PID check and running sigkillbyname() or killbyname() instead? (Don't think checking PIDs is the best idea around in similar messy state.)

can u provide a replacement line for the below as im not aware of the possible functions created
killbypid("{$g['varrun_path']}/" . escapeshellarg($ppp['type']) . "_{$interface}.pid"); -
You can try
killbyname("mpd5");or
sigkillbyname("mpd5", "TERM");or
sigkillbyname("mpd5", "KILL"); -
tried all 3 but once modem is rebooted and up and running, nothing helps, tried unplugging wan cable also with each of the commands but all still same, only get it to work is reboot pfsense
there is something that happens at reboot which makes it reconnect that doesnt happen when modem goes down and comes up again, probably the nic powering down and up makes it successfully connect at pfsense reboot. it would be great to disable the nic using software and then enabling it
-
So… is that command executed at all? (You mentioned you tried logging.)
-
i removed the logging and put in the command, im assuming its running it because i see the interface going down and up a multiple times now, no idea if thats supposed to happen
-
Well, so… put the logging back? :) (That, and adding the sleep in between...)
-
tried it and that command is executed but it seems somewhere else something is creating another mpd instance or something like that, also in system log i get messages like some package is already running so not starting another instance so i believe that command is doing few other bad things than actually doing good because the situation still is same, it wont reconnect
-
it seems somewhere else something is creating another mpd instance or something like that
Perhaps we are finally getting somewhere here. Posting the real logs could help.
-
the part about some other mpd starting is actually the netgraph thing which has multiple instances, ill try some more and get the logs shortly as this is a production box so need to get some work done for now
-
here u go

Probably you get the error about the name since pfSense names itself the iface.
Since mpd5 latest has that included inside probably need to check removing the name. -
inspite of that error, pppoe still doesnt reconnect, probably tearing down the interface and bringing it back up using a down and up command would solve this.

I know all of the network professionals are going to roll their eyes at this question. So, forgive my ignorance. Would a work around be to put my ADSL modem back into router mode, then put my Pfsense firewall in the DMZ with a second public IP address on it? This would allow the modem to authenticate with PPPoE without affecting anything else. Please be gentle with your thoughts ;D
