    Older post, but I've done something similar.. I was able to use the following command on a windows machine to accomplish what I needed:

     

    taskkill /F /IM f5fpclientW.exe

Last one for the day. I found the alias settings in the edge client configuration from the F5 connectivity profile page and thought A-ha! Unfortunately it isn't so easy. I thought that alias = "favorite name" as the f5fpc.exe program in the edge client shows you can use f5fpc -stop /n [favorite name], but it evidently isn't the same value since the client VPN isn't being stopped. Does anyone know of another way to stop the VPN session by a command line using f5fpc.exe or any other way? Thanks!!!
