I assume that you have the debian-packaged openvpn package installed?
If so, why not use the debian/openvpn way of doing things?
Create a file in /etc/openvpn (e.g. named /etc/openvpn/myvpn.conf - got
to end in ".conf) containing:
remote 137.?.?.?
dev tun1
ifconfig 192.168.1.1 192.168.2.5
verb 5
secret /root/key
Then the init script for openvpn will take care of things...
