Re: cleanest, simplest way for a shell script to determine whether the connection is up or down?

[jes]

Check for presence of ppp0; check for lock file(?); check last line of
log file...

One potential problem with all of these is: what if your script checks
right before the link changes state, and by the time you take action,
the link status has changed?
