-.TH PON 1 "July 2000" "Debian Project" "Debian PPPD"
-.SH NAME
-pon, poff, plog \- starts up, shuts down or lists the log of PPP connections
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B pon
-[ isp-name [ options ] ]
-.br
-.B poff
-[ -r ] [ -d ] [ -c ] [ -a ] [ -h ] [ isp-name ]
-.br
-.B plog
-[ arguments ]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-This manual page describes the \fBpon\fP, \fBplog\fP and \fBpoff\fP
-scripts, which allow users to control PPP connections.
-..
-.SS pon
-\fBpon\fP, invoked without arguments, runs the \fI/etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot\fP
-file, if it exists and is executable. 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. Also, to have all
-pppd-generated information in one logfile, that plog can show, you need the
-following line in your \fI/etc/syslog.conf\fP file:
-.PP
-local2.* -/var/log/ppp.log
-.RE
-.SH FILES

-.TP
