pppattach(ADMN)


pppattach -- open a outgoing manual dialup PPP link

Syntax

pppattach attachname

Description

The pppattach command starts an outgoing manual dialup PPP link. pppattach passes the attachname to the PPP daemon (see pppd(ADMN)) through a UNIX domain socket. pppd looks up the attachname in the /etc/ppphosts file and dials the remote host.

There must be a manual dialup PPP endpoint entry in /etc/ppphosts with its attach option set to attachname.

If there are multiple entries with the same attachname listed in /etc/ppphosts, pppattach uses the first entry with the specified attachname. Other entries with the duplicate attachname are never used.
