Nope. As others have said, use
/sbin/ifup ppp0
/sbin/ifdown ppp0

The ifup-ppp and ifdown-ppp scripts are designed to be called from
the ifup and ifdown scripts; don't try to call them explicitly.
That goes for all network devices; ifup and ifdown are master scripts
which call all the other scripts. That's why, with 5.0, ifup and ifdown
moved into /sbin -- those are the only ones that should be called
explicitly; they should cause all the others to be called behind the
scenes.
