Is it ok if ModemManager process is killed AFTER network-interface is brought up and IP-Address assigned?

Hi All.

We are using Sierra's USB-to-WWAN driver on Ubuntu-14 for Sierra's
MC8090 modem, and we have a requirement wherein we need to have access
to the modem-serial-port (from our user-application that is).

Right now, we see that /usr/sbin/ModemManager is always connected to
/dev/ttyUSB3 (which means we cannot connect to the port from our
application at the same time, or even if we can, received-data will be
at best inconsistent).


We are thinking of the following ::

* Initially, let nmcli and ModemManager do their work, and let them
bring the WWAN interface up.

* Once this happens, we permanently-down the ModemManager from our
application-binary, thereby freeing up /dev/ttyUSB3.

* Thereafter, we are free to connect to /dev/ttyUSB3 from our
application, thereby using features like SMS-notification (+CMTI),
signal-strength (+CSQ), etc.



Does our approach make sense?
We will be grateful to any help.


Thanks and Regards,
Ajay
