HIYA

I want to do a simple linkdown script for my ppp connection.

Can anybody tell me why the script below wont work?

#!/bin/sh
#
# Simple linkdown script for ppp
#
kill 'cat /var/run/tun0.pid'

If i just type cat /var/run/tun0.pid it shows me a valid PID,
but if I type kill 'cat /var/run/tun0.pid' or if I run the script above
I'll allways get the following err:

kill: Arguments should be jobs or process id's

Any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards

Daniel Haischt
