/_Have a look at that poff script. Basically it does:
/_  /bin/kill -TERM `pidof pppd`

/_pidof can be done like:
/_  ps axc -o pid,command | awk "\$2~/^`echo $1`\$/ {print \$1}"

/_That poff script is so short you could rewrite (with a friendlier
/_license). (Or choose to just use it on your BSD box.)

(yours or poff). You can take the bulk of what I know about shell scripting
and engrave it in large block letters on my thumbnail....even less
when it comes to using awk.
