It's not working with Secure Client 5.1.3.62. Please help!

For Secure Client 5.1.x try
'/Applications/Cisco/Cisco Secure Client - Socket Filter.app/Contents/MacOS/Cisco Secure Client - Socket Filter' -deactivateExt

Glad everyone is still enjoying this. I wrote it quite a while ago and unfortunately am no longer as embedded in the Cisco ecosystem.
If it deserves a proper repo and anyone is interested in submitting pull requests, let me know.

I actually quit using command line and had a BitBar script I was using on the Mac to enable and disable it visually from the menu bar.
