Package: openvpn Followup-For: Bug #326080 I can reproduce this bug, but I'm a bit reluctant to provide config on a public mailing list (I would be happy to mail it, with IP changes, directly to a maintainer though)
ii openvpn 2.0-1sarge2 Virtual Private Network This happens for me when I have: # cat /etc/default/openvpn AUTOSTART="none" But I have a particular network I want to start: $ sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn start xxxx Starting virtual private network daemon:Enter Auth Username:xxxx Enter Auth Password: xxxx. $ sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn start xxxx Starting virtual private network daemon:Enter Auth Username:xxxx Enter Auth Password: xxxx. It is now running twice: # ps -ef | grep open nobody 15780 1 1 13:55 ? 00:00:09 /usr/sbin/openvpn... nobody 17499 1 2 13:59 ? 00:00:06 /usr/sbin/openvpn... # ip route ... 10.100.0.0/16 dev tap0 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.0.156 10.100.0.0/16 dev tap1 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.0.156 The PID file shows only the second instance, as if the first had now been forgotten about: # cat /var/run/openvpn.xxxx.pid 17499 I can stop the second instance, but not the first: $ sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn stop xxxx Stopping virtual private network daemon: xxxx. # cat /var/run/openvpn.xxxx.pid cat: /var/run/openvpn.xxxx.pid: No such file or directory $ sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn stop xxxx Stopping virtual private network daemon: (failure: No such VPN is running: xxxx). Still the first instance is running; ps -ef | grep open nobody 15780 1 1 13:55 ? 00:00:13 /usr/sbin/openvpn... # ip route ... 10.100.0.0/16 dev tap0 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.0.156 I suspect a simple fix here would be to get the "start" action to detect a PID file, and politely refuse to start again if the PID file is there - perhaps with some liveness checking to see if the process really exists, in case of stale PID files from a previous crash.
