I don't use openvpn timers, so can't do that.
my opinion on systemd (FWIW) is that it is not meant for mere mortals
to use. I know that the documentation is excellent, but I find it a bit
obtuse. Though I not in the camp that believes we should abhor it, I
definitely feel the need fro a "systemd for dummies" and how it ties in
with the old ways of working.
Now that the rant is over, well systemd has different places for its
unit files. On my Debian 8.5:
$ cat /etc/debian_version
8.5
$ ls -al /lib/systemd/system/openvpn*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 320 Sep 30 2014 /lib/systemd/system/openvpn.service
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 361 Sep 30 2014 /lib/systemd/system/[email protected]
To start the service on site1:
systemctl start [email protected]
Note: do not use [email protected]; i.e. the name of the file +
extension
To check status:
systemctl status [email protected]
To stop:
systemctl stop [email protected]
To enable on boot time:
systemctl enable [email protected]
To monitor, I use the awesome byobu (a wrapper on top of tmux) and start
the following in one byobu terminal:
$ sudo journalctl -l -u openvpn@site1 -f
That should set you up.
