Sorry, not sure - I only use this on Windows.

@sdkbotik, on Linux, the command name is ikec, and the syntax is the same, but you need to specify -a option to automatically connect to server. Also, in v2.2.1 in GUI I haven’t found a way to change the profile name, there the name is the server/gateway IP address. The profiles are located in ~/.ike/sites (the profile file name is the profile name).

ikec -r "VPN Profile Name" -u "Username" -p "Password" -a

$ ikec
ii : ## : VPN Connect, ver 2.2.1
## : Copyright 2013 Shrew Soft Inc.
## : press the <h> key for help
!! : invalid parameters specified ...
>> : ikec -r "name" [ -u <user> ][ -p <pass> ][ -a ]
 -r	site configuration path
 -u	connection user name
 -p	connection user password
 -a	auto connect

Also note that this command is interactive (even when -a option is used), therefore when you run it, it will look like this:

ii : ## : VPN Connect, ver 2.2.1
## : Copyright 2013 Shrew Soft Inc.
## : press the <h> key for help
>> : config loaded for site 'VPN Profile Name'
>> : attached to key daemon ...
>> : peer configured
>> : iskamp proposal configured
>> : esp proposal configured
>> : client configured
>> : local id configured
>> : remote id configured
>> : pre-shared key configured
ii : bringing up tunnel ...
>> : network device configured
ii : tunnel enabled

… and it keeps open the connection until q key is pressed. You can press h key to show the following help:

 - : <c> connect
 - : <d> disconnect
 - : <h> help
 - : <s> status
 - : <q> quit

@bvanskiver is there any way to auto close the command prompt? I tried EXIT but that didn't work.

@jkyadav, when you leave the ikec/ipsecc command open, you can press (I think) ~~x~~ q (~~I am not sure if it is x or q, I always forget it.~~ I have cheched upon it.)

Hi, I'm not a tech genius is there a way I could set such connection and say it will connect @06:00 daily for 1 hour?
Would also need guidance, are the scripts above to run in a bat file or an other?
Thanks in advance

Windows scheduler should help you with this.
