Rip-off UK, led by BT - first they offer you "unlimited", for which you
pay, then they keep chucking you off. However, rsync doesn't mind this.
If you know you're going to be terminated every 2 hours, as I was too with
greatXscape, just run your rsync script from something like this (I run it
from my crontab every 15 minutes from 18:00 till 06:00 Mon-Fri and from
18:00 Fri - 06:00 Mon:
#!/bin/sh

RSYNCUP=`ps --no-heading -C rsync`
ISTATUS=`netstat -i | grep ppp0`
if [ "$RSYNCUP" != "" ] && [ "$ISTATUS" != "" ] ; then # rsync and ppp0
are up
exit 0 # so leave them alone.
fi
if [ "$RSYNCUP" != "" ] && [ "$ISTATUS" == "" ] ; then # rsync up; ppp down
killall rsync-cooker & > /dev/null
/usr/local/bin/rsync-cooker & # your rsync script
exit 0
fi
if [ "$RSYNCUP" == "" ] ; then # rsync down
killall rsync-cooker & > /dev/null
/usr/local/bin/rsync-cooker &
exit 0
fi
# ends here
