Openvpn: where do I put the bridge startup scripts?

MikeyCarter · 09-10-2010, 08:41 AM

I'm running Fedora 13. I need to execute scripts to setup the bridge after openvpn is restart. Where do I put the scripts? How do I get openvpn to execute them?

Anywhere you want but I suggest you put it in /etc/openvpn.

No, you must execute it seperately, follow this sequence:
- run bridge-start
- start vpn
- stop vpn
- run bridge-stop

Finally found it: /etc/openvpn/openvpn-startup

That's executed when the program starts. I found it in the fedora 13 /etc/init.d/openvpn script. Don't know if it's in all distributions though.
