npppctlcontrol the npppd daemon

npppctl [-n] [-r rcvbuf_size] [-s socket] [-t timeout_sec] command [argument ...]

The npppctl utility controls the npppd(8) daemon.

The options are as follows:

Show IP addresses instead of their hostnames.
rcvbuf_size
npppctl may fail if the receive buffer is not large enough for the requested information. Use rcvbuf_size to extend the receive buffer size instead of the default value of 131072. This must be greater than or equal to 2048.
socket
Use socket instead of the default /var/run/npppd_ctl to communicate with npppd.
timeout_sec
Use timeout_sec as the I/O timeout timer value in seconds instead of the default value of 2.

The following commands are available:

all | filter ...
Disconnect PPP sessions. If filter is specified, only matching PPP sessions are disconnected. If all is specified, all PPP sessions are disconnected. See session all for the types of filter.
[filter ...]
Show detailed information for PPP sessions. If filter is specified, only matching PPP sessions are shown; otherwise all PPP sessions are shown. The following filters are available:
ip_address
Show or clear PPP sessions whose IP address match ip_address.
interface_name
Show or clear PPP sessions that use the interface specified by interface_name.
id
Show or clear PPP sessions whose Ppp-Id match id.
protocol
