Auto-click 'connect' button

ncat

Hello.
Got many troubles because i need to get L2TP server using DHCP. Using information from this closed and usolved topic: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,25465.45.html

Situation: l2tp (ifconfig: l2tp0) doesn't start automatically, only manually form Status -> Interfaces -> l2tp0 -> Connect button.
How can i start it from console?
Found this: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,21367.0.html
Need something like described.

#!/bin/sh

if [ -f /var/run/l2tp_opt1.pid ]
    then
   echo "mpd is running" | logger
    else
   echo "mpd is dead" | logger
fi

instead logger i want to put smth like start_interface l2tp0 <is there="" any="" such="" command?="">Thanks in advance.</is>

Still interested in this.

Not 100% on this but I think:

/etc/rc.linkup l2tp0

might work. Or something similar. ::)
