I should probably port this option over from the OpenSolaris variant of
pppd:
maxconnect n
Terminate the connection after it has been available for
network traffic for n seconds (that is, n seconds after
the first network control protocol starts). An LCP
Time-Remaining message is sent when the first NCP
starts, and again when 5, 2, and 0.5 minutes are remain-
ing.
Without that option, one way of doing what you ask is to use the
"linkname" parameter to force a reliable PID file name, and then just
sleep and kill the process based on the contents of that file.
