!!DESCRIPTION |
|
|
22 |
|
|
|
23 |
|
|
|
24 |
This manual page describes the __pon__, __plog__ and |
|
|
25 |
__poff__ scripts, which allow users to control PPP |
|
|
26 |
connections. |
|
|
27 |
|
|
|
28 |
|
|
|
29 |
__pon__ |
|
|
30 |
|
|
|
31 |
|
|
|
32 |
__pon__, invoked without arguments, runs the |
|
|
33 |
''/etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot'' file, if it exists and is |
|
|
34 |
executable. Otherwise, a PPP connection will be started |
|
|
35 |
using configuration from ''/etc/ppp/peers/provider''. |
|
|
36 |
This is the default behaviour unless an __isp-name__ |
|
|
37 |
argument is given. |
|
|
38 |
|
|
|
39 |
|
|
|
40 |
For instance, to use ISP configuration |
|
|
41 |
|
|
|
42 |
|
|
|
43 |
pon myisp |
|
|
44 |
|
|
|
45 |
|
|
|
46 |
__pon__ will then use the options file |
|
|
47 |
''/etc/ppp/peers/myisp''. You can pass additional |
|
|
48 |
__options__ after the ISP name, too. __pon__ can be |
|
|
49 |
used to run multiple, simultaneous PPP |
|
|
50 |
connections. |
|
|
51 |
|
|
|
52 |
|
|
|
53 |
__poff__ |
|
|
54 |
|
|
|
55 |
|
|
|
56 |
__poff__ closes a PPP connection. If more than one PPP |
|
|
57 |
connection exists, the one named in the argument to |
|
|
58 |
__poff__ will be killed, e.g. |
|
|
59 |
|
|
|
60 |
|
|
|
61 |
poff myprovider2 |
|
|
62 |
|
|
|
63 |
|
|
|
64 |
will terminate the connection to myprovider2, and leave the |
|
|
65 |
PPP connections to e.g. |
|
|
66 |
|
|
|
67 |
|
|
|
68 |
__poff__ takes the following command line |
|
|
69 |
options: |
|
|
70 |
|
|
|
71 |
|
|
|
72 |
__-r__ |
|
|
73 |
|
|
|
74 |
|
|
|
75 |
causes the connection to be redialed after it is |
|
|
76 |
dropped. |
|
|
77 |
|
|
|
78 |
|
|
|
79 |
__-d__ |
|
|
80 |
|
|
|
81 |
|
|
|
82 |
toggles the state of pppd's debug option. |
|
|
83 |
|
|
|
84 |
|
|
|
85 |
__-c__ |
|
|
86 |
|
|
|
87 |
|
|
|
88 |
causes pppd(8) to renegotiate |
|
|
89 |
compression. |
|
|
90 |
|
|
|
91 |
|
|
|
92 |
__-a__ |
|
|
93 |
|
|
|
94 |
|
|
|
95 |
stops all running ppp connections. If the argument |
|
|
96 |
__isp-name__ is given it will be ignored. |
|
|
97 |
|
|
|
98 |
|
|
|
99 |
__-h__ |
|
|
100 |
|
|
|
101 |
|
|
|
102 |
displays help information. |
|
|
103 |
|
|
|
104 |
|
|
|
105 |
__-v__ |
|
|
106 |
|
|
|
107 |
|
|
|
108 |
prints the version and exits. |
|
|
109 |
|
|
|
110 |
|
|
|
111 |
If no argument is given, __poff__ will stop or signal |
|
|
112 |
pppd if and only if there is exactly one running. If more |
|
|
113 |
than one connection is active, it will exit with an error |
|
|
114 |
code of 1. |
|
|
115 |
|
|
|
116 |
|
|
|
117 |
__plog__ |
|
|
118 |
|
|
|
119 |
|
|
|
120 |
__plog__ shows you the last few lines of |
|
|
121 |
''/var/log/ppp.log''. If that file doesn't exist, it |
|
|
122 |
shows you the last few lines of your ''/var/log/syslog'' |
|
|
123 |
file, but excluding the lines not generated by pppd. This |
|
|
124 |
script makes use of the tail(1) command, so arguments |
|
|
125 |
that can be passed to tail(1) can also be passed to |
|
|
126 |
__plog__. |
|
|
127 |

|
|

|
|
|
129 |
Note: the __plog__ script can only be used by root or |
|
|
130 |
another system administrator in group |
