The character "^" means start of the line => pattern didn't match. The
alternative pattern (behind "|") didn't match too.
The following pattern should work:
check file openvpn-client.log with path /home/share/openvpn-client.log
if match "Initialization Sequence Completed" then exec
"/root/sendemail.sh"
The proc file error may show up if the process exit before Monit collected
details about it (for a moment it was visible in the process table). You can
ignore this message (harmless and suppressed in non-debug mode).
