Hi Selva,
Restarting the Openvpn client is the last resort for us.
And modifying client.conf via ConfigParser Lib from python is what I am
thinking of to achieve this.
Goal here is to change the remote server on the fly.
I'll try with options you suggested.

It does not seem to work for me beyond that.
As when I do try to change the remote server using
>remote MOD <vpn-server-2> <vpn-port-2>
The server side gives a TLS handshake failure.
I think that is logical, as the client.conf does try to connect with the same
certificates and keys to the remote server as that of the first VPN server.
I have never tried this, but you could try --management-external-cert to
provide the cert from management and --management-external-key to sign when
prompted with >RSA_SIGN. But --ca or --ca-path cannot be changed through the
management.
May I ask what is the real goal here -- why not just restart the client from
the script with the right options or with a config file created on the fly?
