I have a similar problem to that of @orizonlabs. I am running GlobalProtect App Version 6.2.3.-270
Connect works great.
Disconnect fails on the line
click menu item "Disconnect" of menu "Global Protect Options Menu" of button "Global Protect Options Menu" of window 1
I shows the Syntax Error
dialog:
System Events got an error: Can’t get menu "Global Protect Options Menu" of button "Global Protect Options Menu" of window 1 of process "GlobalProtect".
@Mellbourn I do not use this script but I experienced the same error and noticed in my environment the Disconnect and Refresh Connection buttons lay within menu 1 of the "Global Protect Options Menu". So try changing that line to:
click menu item "Disconnect" of menu 1 of button "Global Protect Options Menu" of window 1
@mmacvicar unfortunately, that also fails. Syntax error:
System Events got an error: Can’t get menu item "Disconnect" of menu 1 of button "Global Protect Options Menu" of window 1 of process "GlobalProtect".
