[SOLVED] OpenVPN as Daemon on P24

[cyrus06]

Hi again,

is there any chance to start OpenVPN as a Daemon in rc.conf? there is no opnevpn file/daemon at /etc/rc.d/

how can i set it up that it'll start at boot?

EDIT:
installed openvpn version: openvpn 2.3.0-2

So that init file was also removed

Here is the init file that came with 2.2.2-2:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '#!/bin/bash

. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions

CFGDIR="/etc/openvpn"
STATEDIR="/var/run/openvpn"

case "$1" in
start)
stat_busy "Starting OpenVPN ... "
success=0
mkdir -p "${STATEDIR}"
for cfg in "${CFGDIR}"/*.conf; do
stat_append "$(basename "${cfg}" .conf) "
/usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon --writepid "${STATEDIR}"/"$(basename "${cfg}" .conf)".pid --cd "${CFGDIR}" --config "${cfg}" || success=$?

done
if [ $success -eq 0 ]; then
add_daemon openvpn
stat_done
else
stat_fail
fi
;;
stop)
stat_busy "Stopping OpenVPN ..."
for pidfile in "${STATEDIR}"/*.pid; do
stat_append "$(basename "${pidfile}" .pid) "
kill $(cat "${pidfile}" 2>/dev/null) 2>/dev/null
rm -f "${pidfile}"
done
rm_daemon openvpn
stat_done
;;
restart)
$0 stop
sleep 1
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
esac
exit 0


')

In this thread I provided three files that have gone missing for openvpn.
