How to connect VPN using batch file for BIG IP Edge Client

Can someone help to write the exact command to login to the vpn server thought command prompt in windows. I tried with the following command but it is just launching the BIG EDGE IP client, but it is not logged in.

 

f5fpc -start /h https://vpnxxx.server.com /u my_userid /p my_password

    Worked for me. Just needed to ensure that the edge client wasn't running first.

    in a batch file you could do the following:

    @echo off
taskkill /im f5fpc.exe /f
f5fpc -start /h https://vpnxxx.server.com /u my_userid /p my_password

    No reason why that wouldn't work. It would kill all instances of the f5fpc process then start the VPN for you/
