# This script fill find processes with 'pppd' in the name 
# and send them SIGINT.  It must be run suid root to work
# correctly.  Some people don't like suid root shell scripts.
# In that case, check out the example pppkill.c which contains a
# C program that does the same thing.  This might be a bit safer
# to make suid root.
#
# Note: there is the potential that this script can kill more than
#       one process.  Maybe even an incorrect process.  It could 
#       probably be done better.
