OpenVPN startup scripts on IRC today

[Paul Gear]

Hi guys,

To whomever was having this discussion:

(13:58:17) policenaut: does anyone know here i can setup openvpn to load
at startup so I don't have to manually do sudo openvpn "file*"
(13:59:17) hybr1d8: easiest way is to add it to /etc/init.d/rc.local
(13:59:18) hybr1d8: A better way is to write your own init script
(14:00:25) policenaut: an examples of an init script lying around :)
(14:01:30) hybr1d8: the rc.local script is a good template (just copy to
a new name and edit as needed - then use update-rc.d to get it to
actually be used :-) )
(14:02:12) policenaut: i'll check it out. thanks :)

There's no need to write your own script.  If you put a valid
configuration file in /etc/openvpn with a .conf extension, the openvpn
startup script will do it for you automatically.
