This isn't OpenVPN's responsibility and you need to consult your distro docs to interact with its init-system. In Ubuntu, your reference is the update-rc.d(8) manpage. At a quick glance, Ubuntu ships with an initscript that "helpfully" enables itself on boot and attempts to launch all configs it finds. Your options would be to stop launching the openvpn initscript on boot (explained in the manpage reference earlier) or see the comments in /etc/default/openvpn to control what the initscript does when it runs. Please send suggestions, improvements, or complaints on the initscript downstream to Ubuntu's Launchpad. Custom initscripts are each distro's concern, not OpenVPN's. -- Josh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite It's a free troubleshooting tool designed for production Get down to code-level detail for bottlenecks, with <2% overhead.
