Package: openvpn Version: 2.2.1-8+deb7u3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
We have a cron job on our system that periodically checks if service openvpn is running and if not, restarts the service. This job also runs at boot time and ocasionally (~1%) collides with openvpn: a second instance of the openvpn init script is run concurrently boot and the daemon is started twice. On my system this results in a second tun device and two VPN instances repeatedly connecting, disconnecting the other. The cron job in question (crontab line): * * * * * root if service openvpn status; then : ; else service openvpn restart; fi -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.9 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: armhf (armv7l) Kernel: Linux 3.4.103+ (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages openvpn depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.49 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-41+deb7u1 ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u8 ii liblzo2-2 2.06-1+deb7u1 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-7.1 ii libpkcs11-helper1 1.09-1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1e-2+deb7u17 ii net-tools 1.60-24.2 openvpn recommends no packages.
