Dpinger is checking an old gateway
-
I used to have a gateway called WAN_DHCP6. Every time a interface is cycled, a dpinger starts up checking for that gateway and of course gets errors as the gateway no longer is functioning.
I am assuming something somewhere is broken in the configuration as in corrupted, but rather than just a basic "start again" I want to understand what is telling the dpinger to fire up and do this check so I can look to see if I can fix it manually.
To clarify I dont mean in the GUI, there is no gateway with active checking on that name configured now, so I mean in the cli.

Fixed it.

Found 3 copies of WAN_DHCP6 from various old isps that werent showing in the GUI, removed them all as instructed by that page, also some other old ghosted WAN_DHCP and the dpinger is no longer running. I backed up before hand to be on safe side.
