The trick is that openVPN isn't just "started" or "stopped". Starting it will start zero or more OpenVPN processes, based on available VPN configurations and AUTOSTART setting.
After discussion, it appears logical to have the status action list the VPNs available and their specific status, then consider it a global success when all VPNs that should be autostarted are running, and failure otherwise. If no VPN is configured, then it should be considered a failure. ** Changed in: openvpn (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Thierry Carrez (tcarrez) Status: New => Triaged -- openvpn init script lacks the 'status' action https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251641 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
