Linux VPN with automatic connection

Hello, I have setup a FortiClient SSL VPN on a linux PC, it does connect ok the problem is that it has to be manually started everytime the Linux machine shutsdown or the VPN disconnects (probably due to idle timeout). I would like to know if maybe you have been able to automate a FC SSL VPN in linux. I tried openning a ticket with Fortinet but the final answer was that they didn' t know how and so it was something more on the Linux side of things which I don' t know very much, searching some linux forums and consulting some friends I also tried their suggestion but nothing worked. The command that has to be excuted on boot is: ./forticlientsslvpn_cli --server <server IP address:sslvpn port number> --vpnuser <username> The issue really is that it asks for the password and later for a confirmation and have not been able to pipe it or automatically append this info when asked. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
