hi this is my first post in OSMC’s forums so first i wanna thank the devs for this great OS goodjob guys keep it up 
now as u migt know openconnect is client to connect to cisco’s vpn server (similar to anyconnect on windows and mac) . i installed this software via apt-get and its working good now my problem is i wanna set this to auto connect at system startup. i wrote and saved an one-line script which when u run openconnect connects to server and everything works i tried to make it run at startup using
#1 init.d and udpate-rc.d and
#2 systemd and systemctl
#3 putting the script in rc.local
but no luck so far… what shoud i do
On recent Linux systems you need to use systemd.
Create file /etc/systemd/system/my_vpn.service with following contents:
[Unit]
Description=Connect to my VPN
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
Environment=password=correcthorsebatterystaple
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'echo $password | sudo openconnect -u username --passwd-on-stdin vpn.server.tld'
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Then execute:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable my_vpn
sudo systemctl start my_vpn
You’re done!

Perfect working; additional benefit, this automatically reconnects.
Thank you, highly appreciated!
I didn’t found much about Openconnect & osmc, but it is working fine for me now. And this was the last puzzle step I needed. Would be great to have this as part of a how-to…
