OpenVPN (2.0-beta7) does not exit when the exit_event is signaled if a
passphrase protected key is used, and openvpn in waiting for the password
from the console.
This is a problem now that I pass the passphrase from my gui as a cmd-line
option. I want to support non passphrase protected keys to, therefor if
the user justs hits enter at my passphrase dialog, I do not use the
--passphrase option.
The problem arises if the key IS protected, but the user just hits enter
at the passphrase prompt (by mistake perhaps), as then openvpn is launched
as normal without knowing about the passphrase, and will therefor ask for
the passphrase from the console.
And there it's stuck :-) Even if I signal the exit_event the openvpn
process don't exit, so I have to kill the process manually to be able to
restart the connection...
Any suggestions how to solve this?
Is it possible to have openvpn exit when the exit_event is signaled even
if it is in getpass(), or do I have to come up with a way to tell openvpn
not to ask for the passphrase from the console at all?
