To attempt to end the Net coinnection I am using a script from the net

#!/bin/bash
DEVICE=ppp0

if [ -r /var/run/$DEVICE.pid ]; then
	kill -INT `cat /var/run/$DEVICE.pid`

	if [ ! "$?" = "0" ]; then
	rm -f /var/run/$DEVICE.pid
	echo "ERROR: Removed stale pid file";
	exit 1
	fi

	echo "PPP link to $DEVICE terminated.";
	exit 0
fi

echo "ERROR: PPP link not active on $DEVICE";
exit 1

This does say that PPP link to ppp0 terminated  ...but the lineis not
dropped! Why??
