== How To use the VPN Script for Mac ==
<br/>
This script will monitor the status of your VPN connection and will automatically try to reconnect you to the VPN if you're disconnected.<br/>
<br/>
This will also allow you to select a program (utorrent in this case) that will automatically be shutdown when disconnected and reopened after the VPN reconnected.<br/>

<br/>
There are some limitations to this script. Once it's started, you CANNOT disconnect from the VPN or close your torrent program as the script will automatically reconnect to the VPN and launch the program. The only way to stop the script is by restarting the computer.
