pppstart

The pppstart(1M) function enables client PPP operations on the ChorusOS system. See Chapter 11, Setting Up PPP for details on configuring a ChorusOS system as a PPP client. In order to use PPP, you have to embed the pppstart process into the ChorusOS system image.

pppstart(1M) uses pppstart(2K). See the sysLog(2K) man page for examples of how to read the log.

Embedding the pppstart process into the ChorusOS system image

You can use Ews, the graphic configuration utility to embed the pppstart process:

1. Open the Ews graphic configuration utility:

   host% ews <build_DIR>/conf/ChorusOS.xml &

2. Select the Application file list node, as follows:

   ChorusOS configuration | ChorusOS System Image Configuration | Applications | Application file

3. Click on Application File with the right-hand mouse button and select New Element.

4. Double-click on the Empty file which appears in the Application File. A new window opens in Ews.

5. Click twice on the Value cell next to Reference in this window, then click on the button marked "..." which appears on its right hand side. This opens a window entitled Select a Reference.

6. Select pppstart from the list of options in the Select a Reference window.

7. Close the Select a Reference window, then select file | save in the Ews graphic configuration tool to save the new settings.

8. You must now build or re-build the ChorusOS system image:

   host% make chorus
