Replying to myself. I know it's horrible, but if you could give a better idea :


As root
 Create /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/lock:
  #!/bin/sh
 
  touch /var/lock/connexion_established
 
 chmod 755 /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/lock
 Create /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/lock:
  #!/bin/sh
 
  rm /var/lock/connexion_established
 chmod 755 /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/lock
 
As user
 Create ~/bin/pon:
  #!/usr/bin/zsh

  /usr/bin/pon;
  while [[ ! ( -a /var/lock/connexion_established ) ]]
    do
        sleep 1s;
    done
  echo "Connexion is established";


Then ~/bin/pon
OK, OK, don't flame me please
