Routes not added after running `pon` to start pptp client

  • 772

I have setup my dev server with the pptp client and use pon {vpn name} to start the client. I also added the following file in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/{vpn name} to setup some routes for me:

#/bin/sh

if ["${PPP_IPPARAM}" = "{vpn name}"]; then
    /sbin/route add -net 10.2.17.0/24 dev ${PPP_IFACE}
fi

After running sudo pon {vpn name} dump debug nodetach I don't see any errors in the output, but the routes not added to my routing table. I've also tried changing the file just to this:

#/bin/sh
/sbin/route add -net 10.2.17.0/24 dev ppp0

And still nothing. I have ensured that the file is owned by root and has executable permissions (755).

    #/bin/sh

    should be 

    #!/bin/sh

    and make sure the file is executable.
