I'm not sure what the best path forward is, TBH...
--up-restart *is* different from --up in several ways:
- runs as the user+group that is specified in the config file
- the 'tun' device is persistent so it's not "fresh"
- routes are not reset during a "persistent" restart, so are still present
- IP addresses are not reset (as the tun device is pesistent)
so indeed, lots of differences here.
What about this:
- take your patch as it is (because it's not very intrusive, provides
variables people are asking for, and cleans up tun.c a bit :-) )
- add a patch to openvpn.8 that explains the differences in --up-restart
(so people will know that the lack of route env vars is not a bug)
agreed, but do we patch openvpn.8 before or after the documentation
split ;) ?
