I found another script as below: log_file="/tmp/Connections.log" # Vars used: date_now="$(date +'%F-%H:%M')" line="User '$common_name' \ at $date_now \ using $ifconfig_pool_remote_ip \ from ${trusted_ip}:${trusted_port}" # Append to the log echo "$line" >> "$log_file" # END User Connect Accounting exit 0 But this script cannot write anything in "/tmp/Connections.log" file, but under the directory "/tmp/systemd-private-0b76fd773c1b491090b475708960936b-openvpn@server.service" it can write the information correctly. I am back to your script. I did: # mkdir /etc/openvpn/Log/ Then, changed the script as below: LOG_FILE="/etc/openvpn/Log/Connections.log" Then: # systemctl restart openvpn But: # ls /etc/openvpn/Log/ # No files have been created. _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
