Hi,
I have been using wvdial (briefly) and I have a strange outcome when I
disconnect. This happens about 90% of the time. About 10% of the time,
it exits cleanly and everything is fine, but my question pertains to
the other 90%.
So, I hit ctrl-c and get the following
^CCaught signal 2: Attempting to exit gracefully...
%
There is no wvdial process anymore.
$ killall wvdial
wvdial: no process found
However, the connection is not terminated (the meter is running), and indeed,
$ ps aux | grep wvdial

if that fails
kill -9 2024
as root
This should disconnect you.
