wtf juniper. Anyone else find it irritating that junos pulse services and pulse tray must always running in OS X regardless of whether or not you're currently connected? Yeah, me too. I added the following as aliases to my shell to fix this problem. Be sure to change your /Library/LaunchAgents/net.juniper.pulsetray.plist file to reflect the `Kee…

From mevanic:

My IT department just pushed out an upgrade of Pulse, and the original post no longer works for me. However, this does:

startvpn() {
        sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/net.juniper.AccessService.plist
        launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/net.juniper.pulsetray.plist
}
quitvpn() {
        launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchAgents/net.juniper.pulsetray.plist
        sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/net.juniper.AccessService.plist
        osascript -e 'tell application "Junos Pulse" to quit'
}
