I was so pissed when I couldn't get this thing to stop. Thank A bunch for this script its a wonder!!

The latest update to Pulse Secure has moved files around. Here is the updated version for @mevanlc functions:

startvpn() {
    sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/net.pulsesecure.AccessService.plist
    launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/net.pulsesecure.pulsetray.plist
}
quitvpn() {
    launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchAgents/net.pulsesecure.pulsetray.plist
    sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/net.pulsesecure.AccessService.plist
    osascript -e 'tell application "Pulse Secure" to quit'
}

Updated but not sure it's still relevant in 2024
