Howto kill running ppp script?

RouterOS Scripting
1

I use the following script to control PPP connections (on-up in ppp profile ):

ping interface=[ / interface get $interface name ] address=($"remote-address") interval=00:00:05

After a PPP interface break, it remains running. Can you please tell me how to kill him?

Try this, replace “ppp-script” with your script name:

/ system script job remove [ find where script="ppp-script" ];

You should consider changing your script…

This script has no name, it is launched via the ppp profile and they are launched for each PPP connection.

Are there any other unique criteria to find your nameless script? If there are non you shout consider putting it into “/ system script”.
After all… what’s the purpose of this ping?

BTW, ping knows an option “count=” to limit its runtime.

Or you do it in a loop:

:while ([ / interface get $interface running ] = true) do={ :delay 5s; / ping interface=[ / interface get $interface name ] address=($"remote-address") count=1; }

(Edit: fixed typo in script)

Purpose: to check the life of the connection and to avoid the forced termination due to idle timeout.
Here is the profile:

/ppp profile add idle-timeout=1m local-address=10.0.0.1 name=ppp-in on-up="ping interface=[ / interface get \$interface name ] address=(\$\"remote-address\") interval=00:00:01" only-one=yes

Great idea with a while loop, thanks, now I’ll try.
