Re: Disconnection command?

Under Gnu/Debian Linux, to connect and disconnect I use the commands
'pon' and 'poff' respectively.
Instead, other Linux distributions don't have 'pon' and 'poff':
then I connect with 'pppd call my_provider', but don't
know how to disconnect apart from switching off the phone.

Can you please suggest the suitable command to disconnect?

killall pppd


Thanks, it works, but only under Debian; instead, with Mandrake 10.1,
if I close the connection with 'killall pppd', when I try to start it again
I get the following output:

Apr 20 13:50:31 localhost pppd[4211]: pppd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0

Apr 20 13:52:02 localhost pppd[4211]: Connect script failed
Apr 20 13:52:03 localhost pppd[4211]: Exit.

.. Then I have to switch off the phone and switch it on again, and then it
works.
Unfortunately I have to use Mandrake because I don't know how to
install Emacs cvs and Gnus cvs under Debian yet.

Any suggestion?
Cheers,
Rodolfo
