Here's a SH script I found somewhere (I can't remember where I found
it):
bash$ cat /etc/ppp/ppp-off
#!/bin/sh
pid=`ps ax |grep pppd |grep -v grep|awk '{print $1;}'`
if [ X${pid} != "X" ]; then
echo 'killing pppd, PID=' ${pid}
kill -9 ${pid}
fi
ifconfig ppp0 down
ifconfig ppp0 delete
exit 0
bash$
Just SU to root and run this script. It will shutdown pppd.
Hope this helps.
