DHCP overwrites Cisco VPN resolv.conf on Linux

I'm using an Ubuntu 8.04 (x86_64) machine to connect to my employer's Cisco VPN. (The client didn't compile out of the box, but I found patches to update the client to compile on kernels released in the last two years.) This all works great, until my DHCP client decides to renew its lease and updates /etc/resolv.conf, replacing the VPN-s...

Interfacing with telephony systems from *nix

Does anyone know of any 'standard' way to interface with a telephony system (think Cisco CCM) from a C/C++ app in *nix?

I was recently approached by a network-engineer, co-worker who would like to offload his minor network admin duties to a junior-level helpdesk tech.

Programatially determine if Cisco VPN Client is connected

I am working with the basic Cisco VPN client (v.5 I believe). Is there anyway to determine programatically if a partciular profile (or any profile for that matter) is connected?
