I have never needed to do anything "extra" from the standard Pcp as
regards NTP
I wrote a script that starts the VPN and checks the VPN connection every
10 minutes. It restarts OpenVPN if the remote network cannot be
contacted.
Code:
--------------------
#!/bin/sh
sudo openvpn --config /home/tc/openvpn/config.conf &
VPNTest() {
#Check if the VPN is already being tested
if [ -f /home/tc/TestingVPN ]; then
echo "VPN is already being tested"
else
touch /home/tc/TestingVPN
# Get Local network address
homenet=$(/sbin/ifconfig | grep -Eo 'inet (addr:)?([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*' | grep
-Eo '([0-9]*\.){2}[0-9]*' | grep -v '127.0.0')
# Choose a host on the remote network
testhost=192.168.5.2
# If we can ping the host remote network then the VPN is up
if [ "$homenet" != "192.168.5" ]; then
count=$(ping -c 4 $testhost | grep 'received' | awk -F',' '{ print $2 }' |
awk '{ print $1 }')
if [ $count -eq 4 ]; then
hostup=yes
echo "VPN is UP"
else
echo "VPN is DOWN"
echo "Restarting OpenVPN"
sudo killall -HUP openvpn &
sleep 20
count=$(ping -c 4 $testhost | grep 'received' | awk -F',' '{ print $2 }' |
awk '{ print $1 }')
if [ $count -eq 4 ]; then
echo "VPN is now up"
else
echo "VPN is still down will try again next time this script is run"
fi
fi
else
# If we happen to be on the remote network without VPN
echo "We're Home !"
fi
rm -f /home/tc/TestingVPN
fi
}
while true
do
VPNTest
sleep 600
done
--------------------
I added this to user command 1
Code:
--------------------
/home/tc/Startvpn.sh
--------------------
Seems to work fine
