THanks for the response! You know of the best resource(s) to begin with that documents scripting with NetworkManager, so I can try rolling something up myself? For instance, how to start networkmanager-openvpn pragmatically? Will I be doing this through an API, or just scripting/parsing system commands? _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
