Actually I use the Perl script below to launch Raven Shield for the daily lunchtime mayhem at work. Does that count :-D.

use strict; use warnings; # change these to work with your machine. my $interface_name = "Local Area Connection"; my $RSPath = 'C:\games~~\Red Storm Entertainment\RavenShield'; # Get current IP my $config = `ipconfig`; $config =~ /IP Address[. :]+([\d.]*)/; my $myIP = $1; munt(); show(); launch(); unmunt(); show(); sub launch { print `$RSPath/system/RavenShield.exe`; } sub munt { print `netsh interface ip set dns "$interface_name" static $myIP`; } sub unmunt { print `netsh interface ip set dns "$interface_name" dhcp`; } sub show { print `netsh interface ip show dns`; }
