Very delayed response... I got sidetracked, but finally had a reason to 
replace my openwrt box at home. New Blu-ray player wasn't compatible 
with old openwrt version or old linksys hardware :)
I'm trying to finalize my init script for openwrt backfire. Here is an 
example:

What would you recommend for the 'stop' portion of the script? I tried 
killall openconnect, but that didn't seem to shut it down very cleanly. 
Is there  a cleaner method?
Also, I'm far from a programmer, or else I would be able to figure this 
out myself. Does the initscript you linked above stay running and 
reconnect automatically on disconnects? Thanks again for the outstanding 
program!
