For instance, to use provider configuration "provider2" run -.IP -pon provider2 -.PP -The system will then use the chatscript -.I /etc/chatscripts/provider2 -and the options file -.IR "/etc/ppp/peers/provider2". -You can use -.B pon -to run multiple, simultaneous PPP connections. -.PP -.B poff -closes a PPP connection. If more than one PPP connection exists, the one named -in the argument to -.B poff -will be killed, e.g. -.IP -poff myprovider2 -.PP -will terminate the connection to myprovider2, and leave the PPP connection -to "myprovider1" up and running. -.PP -.B plog -shows you the last few lines of -.IR /var/log/ppp.log . -If that file doesn't exist, it shows you the last few lines of -.IR /var/log/syslog -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 -.B plog. -.SH OPTIONS -.SS Options for pon -.TP -.B isp-name -is the name of the ISP connection to start. If no -.B isp-name -is specified, -.B pon -will use the name "provider". -.SS Options for poff -.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 -.B isp-name -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 it will kill all ppp connections. Like the -.B "\-a" -option. -.SS Options for plog -.TP -.B argument -is any argument you can also pass to -.BR tail (1). -.SH REQUIREMENTS -.BR pppd (8) -must be installed and configured. -.PP -.I /etc/chatscripts/provider -is the default chatscript, used when -.B pon -is invoked without an argument. Edit it to suit your needs. See -.BR chat (8). -.PP -.I /etc/ppp/peers/provider -is the default options file, used when -.B pon -is invoked without an argument. Edit it to suit your needs. See -.BR pppd (8). -.PP -When -.B pon -is invoked with an -.B isp-name -argument, different filenames are used. For example, if -.B isp-name -"myprovider" is specified, chatscript -.I /etc/chatscripts/myprovider -and options file -.IR /etc/ppp/peers/myprovider -are used. -.SH NOTE -The -.B plog -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 /etc/syslog.conf file: -.PP -local2.* -/var/log/ppp.log -.SH FILES -.TP -.I /etc/chatscripts/provider -The default chat script. -.TP -.I /etc/ppp/peers/provider -The default peer option file. -.TP -.I /etc/ppp/chap-secrets -System CHAP passwords file. -.TP -.I /etc/ppp/pap-secrets -System PAP passwords file. -.TP -.I /etc/ppp/options -System PPP option file. -.TP -.I /var/log/ppp.log -The default PPP log file. -.SH AUTHORS -The p-commands were written by Christoph Lameter <clameter@debian.org>. -Updated and revised by Philip Hands <phil@hands.com>. -.br -This manual was written by Othmar Pasteka <othmar@tron.at> and modified -by Rob Levin <lilo@openprojects.net>, with some extensions taken from the -old p-commands manual written by John Hasler <jhasler@debian.org>. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.BR chat (8), -.BR pppd (8), -.BR tail (1). |
