NAME
       ppp-watch  -  daemon  to make PPP interfaces act more like other inter-
       faces
SYNOPSIS
       ppp-watch interface-name [boot]
DESCRIPTION
       ppp-watch manages one PPP connection, including starting, stopping, and
       redialing.   It  makes starting and stopping the connection synchronous
       activities.
       ppp-watch is not really meant to be called directly.  It should only be
       used from within the ifup-ppp script.
OPTIONS
       interface-name
              The name of the PPP interface to bring up.
       boot   ppp-watch is being called at boot time and should time out after
              a while if the PPP connection does not come up in order  not  to
              hang the boot sequence.
