If you want the pid of the ppp process do a ps aux.
grep the output of ps aux then use awk to get the first column of the output = pid
pppd

Hi Michael,
this file (/var/run/$IFNAME.pid) is created by default by the ppp package?
I'm developing a program that need to know the pid of the running ppp(s).
And I want to obtain that info while keeping the system/packege requirement
as low as posible.
My app currently need gtk+1.2 and Linux and I dont't know if there is another
ppp packege out there for Linux.
Best Regards
Oliver
