Re: [monit] noob question

pppoe is a client,
you can tell the client to exit when no traffic after a delay, that will clean 
the mess.

man pppoe,  see the option "-T timeout"

I really recommend you to read the manuals (monit and pppd/pppoe).

nothing can be well monitored if you don't know how it works...
