Re: how to shut pppd in script

I do this also. My way is to have a script in ip-up.d, called "zzz-hangup",
which calls "poff" - that way it doesn't have to check anything (the scripts
get done in alphabetical order).

You need backticks (`) in both cases. Like this:

  kill `cat /var/run/ppp0.pid`

However, since poff exists, it's probably better to use that.
