From: Fabian Klemp <fabian.kl...@axino-group.com> openvpn only provides options to update a pid file but not to check it for running processes. Consecutive issued start commands therefore lead to multiple running processes with the same configurations, which is the origin of all kinds of problems of which unnecessary resource usage is the least.
Using start-stop-daemon the pid file is inspected for running processes before start.
