Modified: usr.sbin/ppp command.c defs.h main.c modem.c phase.h ppp.8
Log:
For /usr/sbin/ppp, you must choose between running ppp in the background or
connecting to a host immediately in the foreground.
I would like to be able to run ppp from a script so that my script can be
sure that it is connected to the 'net before it continues running:
# Dial up the internet.
ppp -background myprovider || exit 1
do-some-net-command
# Hang up the modem.
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/ppp.tun0.pid`
Another problem is that the current ppp calls its process id file
`/var/run/PPP.server', which may conflict if you have more than one IP
tunnel interface available.
Closes PR#1469
