Hi,
I wanted to implement a weekly logfile rotation for the openvpn logfile and
noticed that it did not work, openvpn kept writing to the old logfile.
If I did a manual mv openvpn.log openvpn.1 openvpn would still write to the
same file, now called openvpn.1, and not start a new openvpn.log. On
SIGUSR1 is used for other stuff in openvpn.
Why don't you use syslog, catch the openvpn related messages and place
them in separate file? It is much simpler and can be managed in
greater flexibility.

Hello,
I might look into the syslog way to seperate the openvpn log messages.
That leaves the unwanted effect of killing the connection when doing a reload.
Is that a know bug or something specific to my situation?

This is what SIGUSR1 is for.
