This was developed by a colleague of mine and works (it was tested on a G3 Blue/White, and a G4 PowerBook).
- Create a text file called wdog.sh containing the following:
#!/bin/tcsh
cd /opt/CPsrsc-50/bin
while (1)
./SR_Service
end
- Put the file in /opt/CPsrsc-50/bin (use sudo).
- Type sudo chmod 755 /opt/CPsrsc-50/bin/wdog.sh to make it executable.
- Type sudo chown 0:0 /opt/CPsrsc-50/bin/wdog.sh to change the owner.
- Edit /System: Library: StartupItems: SecureClient: SecureClient (again, use sudo).
- Comment out this line:
$SRDIR/bin/SR_Watchdog &> $SRDIR/log/ScBootlog.txt &
by adding a # before it.
- After that line, add this new line:
$SRDIR/bin/wdog.sh &> $SRDIR/log/ScBootlog.txt &
Reboot and enjoy!
[robg adds: 10.3.9 broke the Checkpoint VPN; this is apparently a fix, though I don't use Checkpoint, so I can't test it.]
