    commandline, ala slipkill. It expects you to have an ETC setting in your
    environment, and takes one optional argument, which is the instance of ppp
    that you wish to kill. It expects that it will find a pppX.log file in the
    directory pointed to by your ETC environment setting, and that the 'X' will
    be the instance of ppp you wish to kill (default is 0, so it will be
    looking for ppp0.log to extract the pid of the ppp process
