Hello
You can use sysdig[1] to really check if the file is updating or not. Install it with the curl script on the OpenVPN server ``` curl -s https://s3.amazonaws.com/download.draios.com/stable/install-sysdig | sudo bash ``` Quickly record some eveets with ``sysdig -w /tmp/openvpn-status-log.scap`` This will record system call events to that file that we can analyze later. Now connect and disconnect from the OpenVPN to generate some updates to the status file. Stop the sysdig command. And now run ``` sysdig -r /tmp/openvpn-status-log.scap -c spy_file /path/to/openvpn-status-file ``` This will show the reads and writes made to that file, which if everything is working, it should be the OpenVPN server and you webserver process. If if you narrow down the thread id with and get the pid of the process you can narrow down each process if making the reads and writes and check if there any "race condition" of sorts. Hope that helps. [1] http://www.sysdig.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
