Scripting Auto Connect
Posted: Tue May 31, 2022 5:49 pm
I've searched and not found an answer--perhaps someone can help me.
I have a script for my daughter's MBA to connect to the home network via OpenVPN Connect, run some backups, and then disconnect. However, the CLI for Connect doesn't seem to have a command to connect via the installed profile, which is set to autologin.
The critical part here is this command:
This launches Connect, but then does NOT attempt to connect to the server using the default profile. If I add a delay to my script, I can _manually_ click "connect" in the menu bar, and everything works as expected including shutting down the connection at the end.
How can I get Connect to connect the default profile via the command line or otherwise?
