I would be interested to know, if you get it to work.
I tried it before (see messages under Subject
"user-level GUI for openVPN" on Nov. 4), but I ended up
writing a script, as Theo suggested, and allowing everyone
to run rcopenvpn with sudo without password.
The script looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
# check config file
if [ ! -e /etc/openvpn/mece.conf ]
then
echo "Error: Config file missing in /etc/openvpn/."
exit 1
fi
# start or stop openvpn
if ! /sbin/checkproc /usr/sbin/openvpn
then
/usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/rcopenvpn start
echo "checking OpenVPN status"
sleep 3 # wait 3 s for connection to take place
ping -q -c 1 -w 2 -t 10 [targetIPaddress] >&/dev/null || read -n1 -p
"Connection failed. Type any key."
/usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/rcopenvpn status
elif /sbin/checkproc /usr/sbin/openvpn
then
/usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/rcopenvpn stop
fi
