Anyone has tried start a vpn via Run command tool?

[randreag]

We have used a Run Command tool to start a vpn but the problem is the run Command doesn't stop

We need to do this because there is a sap hana we need to connect but is in another network , we need to connect, extract and close the connection.

Any ideas about how to make the run command stop? Or another way to accomplish this?

Could you do two events, one before workflow run and one after workflow completes? One starts the vpn and the second terminates it? You could handle this via workflow events rather than a run command. I'm not sure what command line options you have for your vpn software but alternatively you could do this via batch script executed by the events if you don't have flexibility in switches.
