Any Connect Start via Commandline but visible in systray?

[andreas.koerber@uni-hamburg.de]

Hello,

I have a script for connecting VPN (anyconnect). I does, however, only run if the program itself is not started, yet. When it connects, there is no indication of a live VPN connection in the taskbar/systray, as it would be if AnyConncet were started via the desktop.

Is there a way to have the program start from the commandline / a script but WITH displaying its status in the systray?

The default installation path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client". now here you can either open a command prompt or create a script file, following command to start the AnyConnect VPN client

vpncli.exe connect <profile> user <username> pwd <password> hideuserstore

the above syntax/command, the AnyConnect should start and establish a connection, and its status would be displayed in the system tray.
