Re: PPPD: New ip-{up,down} script handling

[Adam Heath <adam.heath@usa.net>]

I am done.  It is currently working here.

status_cmd		runlevel	dir
-------------------------------------------------
pppd_initializing	init		init.d
 pppd_connected		cnct		cnct.d
  pppd_online		online		online.d
  pppd_offline		offline		offline.d
 pppd_disconnected	discnct		discnct.d
pppd_idle		idle		idle.d

There is no longer any ip-{up,down} script.  Pppd calls 
/etc/ppp/ppp-functions <status-cmd> <iface> <tty> <etc...>

Ppp-functions then sets up the exported variables PPP_IFACE, etc., and then
calls "rc <runlevel>".  Ppp-update.d is modified to support all runlevel dirs.
The default links are /etc/ppp/online/S20<base>, and
/etc/ppp/offline/K20<base>.  Scripts are placed in /etc/ppp/scripts.d.

Please note, that <iface> may not always be available.  The only thing
guaranteed to be there is <tty>.

Tomorrow I will make up a formal patch, and submit it to the bug system.  I
will set the priority to wishlist, unless I am told by several others to
increase it.

Adam
