Running OpenVPN in the background.

waelaltaqi · 05-24-2007, 03:54 PM

i have to apply the following command to create VPN connection to my firewall:

Code:

sudo ./openvpn --config vpnauto-TO-IPCop.ovpn

My only problem is that the command produces continures output telling me exactly what's happening with the connection.
As far as i know, to run a process in the background i need to add & to the command, like:

Code:

updatedb&

My question is: how can i run the above openvpn command in the background?
thanks in advance.
