I want to make a script that runs 'ppp -background' then fetchmail and then tells ppp to hangup. Currently the only way I know how to make a background ppp process disconnect is by using kill, but ppp doesn't leave its pid anywhere (that I can find) so I don't know how the script will know what process to kill. Is there another way to do this?
