-f instead of -x

Hello,
In the script for pptp, page: http://www.freebsddiary.org/pptp.php
Should "if [ -x /var/run/tun0.pid ] "
be "if [ -f /var/run/tun0.pid ] " ?
(it works fine with it...)

The -f just checks to see if the file exists. The -x ensures it is executable. See man test

I don't think that /var/run/tun0.pid is executable. This file exists only while pptp is running, that's why it's better use -f( -x is not working in this case either ).

Makes sense to me.
