Could you explain why you need the process ID of the daemon? I am trying to figure out why that is needed. I also don't understand the secure in this context. What are you protecting yourself against? You are not protecting your script being called from a malicious program as that could lookup the PID of openvpn and just set the daemon_id variable.
