You will have to do a compare of $1 with ppp0, and exit if it is a different interface, because it is run before bringing any interface down. I am not sure if Network Manager uses the ifdown script, but you could alway run ifdown ppp0 to disconnect. This will not help if the interface goes down without you telling it to.
