DEVICE=ppp0

# If the ppp0 fpid file is present then the program is running. Stop it.
if [ -r /var/run/$DEVICE.pid ]; then
kill -INT `cat /var/run/$DEVICE.pid`

#If the kill didn't work, then remove this lock file.
if [ ! "$?" = "0" ]; then
rm -f /var/run/$DEVICE.pid

exit 0

# The ppp process is not running.
echo "ERROR: PPP link is not active on $DEVICE"
exit 1
