Doesn't work like that. /proc is where the ps info is stored. It is
stored in a fairly special format.
Replace 'ls /proc' with 'ps -elf'.
cat /proc/*/cmdline shows all cmdlines, for instance.

Why would pon (Start a connection) stop one?
Don't you mean:
# poff dsl-provider

^^^^^^^^^^^
If you use DS, that's fine. But I think you use DS*L*, not DS.

Great! That is how you are supposed to do it.

poff: Disconnects you from dialup/dsl IF AND ONLY IF you are only
connected to one ISP once.
pon: Connects you to dialup.
You _might_ be able to get it to do DSL by:
# ln -s /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider /etc/ppp/peers/provider
poff ds-provider: Disconnects a DS provider.
pon ds-provider: Connects a DS provider. Is there such a thing?
poff dsl-provider: Disconnects a DSL provider.
pon dsl-provider: Connects a DSL provider.
That is how it Should Work. As I don't personally use it, I might be
forgetting to tell you about relevant bugs (but search the BTS -
bugs.debian.org).
