cannot start vpn from commandline via network-manager
I've got a vpn configured in network-manager. I can successfully start
it from the network-manager gui.
Now I would like to have it automatically started as soon as
/etc/network/if-up.d/somescript is started.
So what I do from that script is:
su - folkert -c '/usr/local/sbin/NetworkManager.startvpn
keetweej.vanheusden.com'
where the /usr/local/sbin/NetworkManager.startvpn is just a python
script that does:
interface.activateVPNConnection() etc. (if you're interested, the script
can be found here: http://blog.mithis.net/archives/ideas/51-nm-autovpn )
Now from what the comments tell me it only works with gutsy, not with
feisty ubuntu. Now I checked but gutsy has an older network-manager than
debian testing. Maybe some patch in ubuntu fixed it? I skimmed through
their patch-list but could not find a relevant vpn-related fix.
