I start xtimer from /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup using
bg xtimer
but trying to kill it in ppp.linkdown with:
shell kill `cat /tmp/xtimer.pid`
doesn't work (/tmp/xtimer.pid contains *only* the pid). No errors
anywhere, xtimer just keeps running, however:
shell killall xtimer
does work.
Anyone any idea why the former doesn't work?
