Summary:                    Cannot STOP "cleanly" the service PPPD.
Description: 
I can use PPPD to communicate with my GPRS (cell phone) but I tried
anything to hangup (SIGHUP), terminate (SIGTERM) or kill (SIGKILL) the
PPPD when not used anymore. It stops but the process PPPD is a ZOMBIE
after all. Maybe I don't do the good thing about it. Can someone can try
it !

In my mean software, I do a fork and execute the PPPD. When my software
wants to close (stop), I ask the PPPD to hang up and shut itself. 

Is there SOMETHING special with PPPD on BUSYBOX or this is the SAME as
other Linux distribution ?

Thank you !
