How can I deactivate an reactivate PPP an CRON?

I would like to set up a CRON job that would disconnect and then reconnect my PPP connection at 0300 every nite.

I understand how to setup the CRON, however its not clear which service i need to give a HUP to to make this happen or how to restart it.  the standard Network services arnt in the init.d as I would normally just stop and restart the network services.

Here are the running processes:
