pppstatus --
display status of a Point-to-Point Protocol bundle
Synopsis
pppstatus
[ -v ]
[ -p period ]
[ -t timeout ]
bundle
Description
pppstatus displays status information for the named
PPP bundle.
(The bundle must have been previously configured using
ppptalk(1M).)
In non-verbose mode, information on the state of the
bundle, bundle protocols and link protocols is provided.
In verbose mode, full information is provided on the standard output.
pppstatus runs until a timeout occurs.
The following options are available:
-p period-
Provides status information every period seconds.
-t timeout-
Set the timeout value in seconds.
A timeout value of 0 (default) means that pppstatus will not exit
until killed.
-v-
Turn on verbose mode. In non-verbose mode, limited status information
is displayed on screen. In verbose mode full information is provided to
the standard output.
Multilink considerations
In non-verbose mode, pppstatus displays the state of
links on the screen. If the screen is not large enough
to accommodate information about all links,
the information will be truncated.
For systems using high numbers of links
within a single bundle, use the verbose option to provide full
information about all links.

0-
Success.
1-
The command syntax is invalid.
2-
The bundle name is invalid.
3-

4-
