Already done. Please search the email archives on debian-devel for "New
handling of scripts external to PPPD (ie ip-up, ip-down)"
A brief summary. On my system, there is no ip-up, ip-down, no connect option
in pppd. It is all done by having pppd shell out, and starting different
runlevels like /etc/init.d and friends. Current pppd levels are:
pppd_starting
pppd_initializing
pppd_connector
pppd_connected
pppd_online
pppd_offline
pppd_disconnector
pppd_disconnected
pppd_idle
pppd_exiting
Packages can be placed in /etc/ppp/scripts.d, for automated handling when pppd
brings up a link.
This is still a work in progress, so don't get your hopes up just yet. Here
is a snippet from my ppp.log.
