If you don't want to have to type those commands in every time that you want to get the tunnel running, I've written a set of bash scripts that keep the tunnel up and running. You can download the package from here. Just download and uncompress it into /usr/local/vpn. Inside you'll find three files:
vpnd: The script that controls the tunnel connection.
check-vpnd: a script to be run by cron to check that vpnd is still up.
pty-redir: a small executable needed to initialize the tunnel.
You'll need to edit the vpnd script to set things like the client's username and the server's names. You may also need to modify the starttunnel section of the script to specify which networks you are using. Below is a copy of the script for your reading enjoyment. You'll note that you could put the script in a different directory, you just need to change the VPN_DIR variable.
