I commonly access the net through a vpn service that has multiple locations
for me to use.  Right now, when I go into KDE with Fedora 18, NetworkManager
automatically gets me on the correct wireless net (if I've set the option),
but I have to access the vpn by opening the network icon in the desktop
panel and clicking on whichever vpn site I want to use.

I can click on "connect automatically" on any one of the vpn options and it
will connect.  That works fine.

But... what I want to do is to *randomly* choose one of the options and
connect to it automatically when I boot up.

I know how to use bash or python or perl to write a script, but I don't know
how to tell it to talk to NetworkManager.

Anybody know how to do that, or can point me to a tutorial or such?

nmcli con up id <connection name>

See `nmcli con` for a list of connections and `man nmcli` for more information.

Exactly what I was looking for!  Thanks.
