Is it possible to make a trigger to open a VPN connection using the native VPN client?

[lloyd]

If it's possible to trigger the command "Connect VPN" from the VPN menu in the menu bar, could you tell me how?

Thanks for all the help so far.

I don’t think there’s anything built-in for that, but if it can be done via AppleScript, you could set up a trigger to run the script.

In case anyone else is looking for this, I'll point to a script that appears to work fine - it toggles the connection on/off: http://markupboy.com/blog/view/toggling-vpn-with-applescript

All I had to do was type "afp://[server-ip]/" into Quicksilver in text mode. The default action should be "Open URL". If you assign this to a trigger, that should work.
