You already know the answer of that - because systemd is making /tmp private.

This is what ./ means: run server-events.sh in the current directory. Put your script in /usr/local/OPENVPN/scripts and call it as /usr/local/OPENVPN/scripts/server-events.sh for example. > So, why is the script not working in OpenVPN? If the problem is locating ./server-events.sh it is *possible* that OpenVPN log itself (or syslog, or the systemd journal) has some stderr output. There are other possibly problems, such as access rights (depending on what user the script is run on, possibly root). ___ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
