Otherwise, a PPP connection will be -started using configuration from \fI/etc/ppp/peers/provider\fP. -This is the default behaviour unless an \fBisp-name\fP argument is given. -.PP -For instance, to use ISP configuration "myisp" run: -.IP -pon myisp -.PP -\fBpon\fP will then use the options file \fI/etc/ppp/peers/myisp\fP. -You can pass additional \fBoptions\fP after the ISP name, too. -\fBpon\fP can be used to run multiple, simultaneous PPP connections. -.. -.SS poff -\fBpoff\fP closes a PPP connection. If more than one PPP connection exists, -the one named in the argument to \fBpoff\fP will be killed, e.g. -.IP -poff myprovider2 -.PP -will terminate the connection to myprovider2, and leave the PPP connections -to e.g. "myprovider1" or "myprovider3" up and running. -.PP -\fBpoff\fP takes the following command line options: -.RS -.TP -.B "\-r" -causes the connection to be redialed after it is dropped. -.TP -.B "\-d" -toggles the state of pppd's debug option. -.TP -.B "\-c" -causes -.BR pppd (8) -to renegotiate compression. -.TP -.B "\-a" -stops all running ppp connections. If the argument \fBisp-name\fP -is given it will be ignored. -.TP -.B "\-h" -displays help information. -.TP -.B "\-v" -prints the version and exits. -.PP -If no argument is given, \fBpoff\fP will stop or signal pppd if and only -if there is exactly one running. If more than one connection is active, -it will exit with an error code of 1. -.. -.SS plog -\fBplog\fP shows you the last few lines of \fI/var/log/ppp.log\fP. If that -file doesn't exist, it shows you the last few lines of your -\fI/var/log/syslog\fP file, but excluding the lines not generated by pppd. -This script makes use of the -.BR tail (1) -command, so arguments that can be passed to -.BR tail (1) -can also be passed to \fBplog\fP. -.PP -Note: the \fBplog\fP script can only be used by root or another system -administrator in group "adm", due to security reasons.
