hi

I have installed vpnclient-linux-3.7.3.A
at SuSE 8.2

My problem is, that sometimes the tunnel goes down.

I'm looking for a script to keep linux cisco vpn client up and running.

regards
chris

Hi!

I think the best Idea would be to write a Wrapper which checks if the Process is running and if it's not running restart the whole thing. Then put the wrapper in the /etc/inittab and when it goes down it will be automatically restarted(we have a similar script for the sshd).
