When working from home, it +used to boot you about once every hour. For whatever reason though, it has +recently started booting sessions every five minutes. Now, the solution is of +course to speak with our networking folks rather than to write a script to fix +the issue on a client by client basis. Unfortunately, due to the culture and +various political situations, the networking folks will not fix this because +they don't believe it's an issue. All opinionattion aside, this sounds like an +opportunity for a nice shell script. + +To start things off, on my Linux box I use vpnc from the command line as I +don't want to install network manager due to additional resource consumption +(albeit a very small amount). That said, throw the following script in ++~/bin/vpnconnect+ and include +~/bin+ in your PATH variable (+export +PATH=~/bin:$\{PATH}+). + +[[source]] +== Source + +_Edit_: Found a pretty sizeable flaw in my script.
