This was developed by a colleague of mine and works (it was tested on a G3 Blue/White, and a G4 PowerBook).

  1. Create a text file called wdog.sh containing the following:
    #!/bin/tcsh 
      cd /opt/CPsrsc-50/bin 
      while (1) 
        ./SR_Service 
      end
    
  2. Put the file in /opt/CPsrsc-50/bin (use sudo).
  3. Type sudo chmod 755 /opt/CPsrsc-50/bin/wdog.sh to make it executable.
  4. Type sudo chown 0:0 /opt/CPsrsc-50/bin/wdog.sh to change the owner.
  5. Edit /System: Library: StartupItems: SecureClient: SecureClient (again, use sudo).
  6. Comment out this line:
    $SRDIR/bin/SR_Watchdog &> $SRDIR/log/ScBootlog.txt &
    by adding a # before it.
  7. 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.]
