How do I write a script to randomly choose a vpn location with NetworkManager?

[Bill Oliver]

Configuration: Toshiba Satellite L875D laptop, Fedora 18, KDE desktop


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?

Thanks!
