I applied this patch while I had 6 VPN clients running. To cope with the
pid/status files relocation I did this:
# Create destination dir
mkdir /var/run/openvpn
# Move .pid and .status files
for f in $(ls /var/run/openvpn.*.pid /var/run/openvpn.*.status
2>/dev/null); do
mv "$f" "/var/run/openvpn/$(basename $f | sed 's/^openvpn\.//')"
done
# Fix sendsigs.omit.d links
for f in /var/run/openvpn/*.pid; do
b="$(basename $f)"
[ -e "/run/sendsigs.omit.d/openvpn.$b" ] || \
ln -sf "$f" "/run/sendsigs.omit.d/openvpn.$b"
done
This worked well and the status and restart init actions worked well.
Maybe this could go in a post-install script?
Thanks,
Simon
