It seems to work very well. But when I integrated it into the main client application I found that what happens on the connect call openvpn-gui.exe --command connect serverconfig is that the connection dialog pops up showing all of the progress messages while connecting, but at this time the call to openvpn-client returns *before* the connection is established so my following actions are errored out because there is not yet a connection. When I traced this in the debugger with a breakpoint directly following the call it reaches the breakpoint before the dialog has finished... So now I am wondering if the connect call just *triggers* openvpn-gui to start the connect process but it does so in its main thread so it exits the user call? Or maybe it stays on until it is either connected or fails (which I assumed), in which case I have to investigate how the call is actually handled from my application. I *have* set the call flag to wait for the called program to finish, and I am logging this. Turns out that the time is just about 600 ms but the connect dialog stays up much longer... I use a standard command to run an application with a set of arguments...
