✨ NAME ✨

pppoe-stop — a shell script whose whole job is shutting down a PPPoE link. that's it. that's the girl. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pppoe-stop [config_file]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so pppoe-stop is a shell script, and its entire main-character purpose is to stop the RP-PPPoE user-space PPPoE client. like, it takes that link out back and says bye bestie 👋✨

and here's the cute part: if you don't hand it a config_file, it just goes with the default file, which is:

/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf

no config file? no problem. she knows where to look. periodt. 💜
