Try starting the connection like this:
/sbin/usernetctl ppp0 up
Then in /etc/ppp/ip-up.local add this:
/usr/bin/top n 1 b | /bin/mail -s "Current Processes" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
/bin/sleep 10 (gives sendmail time to deliver the message)
/sbin/usernetctl ppp0 down
Make sure ip-up.local is executable and it will by run by pppd when a PPP
connection is established.
