Mac OSX : VPN Checkpoint E75.01 - Connectivity lost with VPN Service

I spend several hours on this and found out the following.... it might be helpful... After a power failure I was unable to reconnect in fact the "connectivity with the VPN service is lost" popped up, and my settings under DockIcon->Connect To were not prompting me back anything. Then I took a look at:
$ cd "/Library/Application Support/Checkpoint/Endpoint Connect"
$ ls -lrt Tr*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9454272 Apr 5 04:51 TracSrvWrapper
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 25766 Sep 5 11:10 Trac.config.bak
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Sep 5 13:10 Trac.config
$ 
Why was the active Trac.conf zero length? ... dunno why... so after shutting down the client from the DockIcon and executing
$ cd "/Library/Application Support/Checkpoint/Endpoint Connect"
$ sudo cp Trac.config.bak Trac.config
Restarted the EndPoint Security Client and problem solved! Greetz Bananaman! RESTART the Checkpoint Daemon
$ sudo launchctl start /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.checkpoint.epc.service.plist

  1. THANK YOU! This has been an issue for me for a long time, this is the quickest and easiest remedy - I used to have to uninstall and reinstall Endpoint every week.
