I've got a couple different openvpn client configurations set up, and
if the fail to connect, the client apparently dies and then there's no
way to stop or restart it. There is no openvpn process running.
There is no PID file. Yet rc-server insists that it's "already
started". Why is it saying that?
There must be something short of a reboot that will allow me to
restart a failed openvpn client?
# rc-service openvpn.wr7 stop
* Stopping openvpn.wr7 ...
* VPNPID='/var/run/openvpn.wr7.pid'
[ !! ]
* ERROR: openvpn.wr7 failed to stop
# rc-service openvpn.wr7 start
* WARNING: openvpn.wr7 has already started, but is inactive
# ls /var/run/openvpn*
