except that the original poster only wanted the interface (ppp*),
which is given as $1, not the serial device (/dev/ttyS*), given as $2
(see pppd(8)).
on a debian system (at least), just plonk your script in
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d and use $PPP_IFACE:
#! /bin/sh
route add -host 192.168.0.13/32 dev $PPP_IFACE
(and $PPP_TTYNAME is already `basename $PPP_TTY`, in case you have a
need of it)
the kernel should remove the route once the interface goes down, but
if there is any other state you want to cleanup, use the corresponding
ip-down script
