Hello,
This was originally posted to -Questions. I thought it would be a no
brainer and get an immediate response. But I haven't heard from anyone
yet, so I thought I'd post here too.
I have some keybindings on my laptop that allow me to easily start and
stop a pptp connection to my office. The binding are of no concern
other than I would like to be able to start/stop pptp as a non-root user.
It looks something like:
Control Shift V opens the vpn using
sudo pptp x.x.x.x OFFICE
Alt Shift V closes the connection
sudo killall -TERM ppp
When I do this (stopping pptp) I get a pptp.core in my home dir. In
fact no matter what I try... I allways end up with a core.
I have tried:
# as myself
sudo killall -TERM ppp
sudo kill -TERM `cat /var/run/tun0.pid`
sudo killall -TERM pptp
Also tried those as root (without sudo).
I have tried all of the above after issuing the pptp command from CLI as
root. Still no luck
I have also tried other signals (QUIT, ABRT).
So... the question is.. How am I supposed to shut down a pptp
connection? I would like to be able to do it with sudo, or at least
some way to bind it to keys of non-root users.
Thanks,

Eric
