This will generally work like a charm. That's what I usually do at home,
where I have only one PPP link, to my dialup ISP.
The only case where the files /var/run/tun?.pid will prove a better thing
is IMHO when one runs more than one instances of /usr/bin/ppp. In that
case `killall ppp' will bring down all the PPP links, which might not be a
good idea :-)
