You could put the 'tail -f' in the background, storing its PID in a
variable, then do a timed loop on the syslog file, looking for the line
'pppd[.*ip-up finished', then issue a kill to the saved pid:
### Add to your existing script
tail -f /var/log/syslog &
tailPID=$!
until grep -q 'pppd[.*ip-up finished' /var/log/syslog
do
sleep 10 # select a delay that works for you
done
kill $tailPID
###
There are surely other, perhaps simpler ways, but this should work
(though not tested, YMMV).
