Package: openvpn Version: 2.1.3-2+squeeze1 Severity: minor Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? * I wanted to start lighttpd on a openvpn interface, unfortunately it could not bind to the interface * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? * Added some code to the init script, so that it only exits when the interface is really up * What was the outcome of this action? * Now openvpn init script only exits when interfaces are really up Here is my patch --- /etc/init.d/openvpn.bak 2012-07-12 05:20:07.000000000 -0500 +++ /etc/init.d/openvpn 2012-07-18 02:58:54.000000000 -0500 @@ -36,6 +36,7 @@ fi start_vpn () { + local dev=$(grep "^dev " $CONFIG_DIR/$NAME.conf | awk '{ print $NF }') if grep -q '^[ ]*daemon' $CONFIG_DIR/$NAME.conf ; then # daemon already given in config file DAEMONARG= @@ -56,13 +57,19 @@ fi log_progress_msg "$NAME" - STATUS=0 + STATUS=1 start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo \ --pidfile /var/run/openvpn.$NAME.pid \ --exec $DAEMON -- $OPTARGS --writepid /var/run/openvpn.$NAME.pid \ $DAEMONARG $STATUSARG --cd $CONFIG_DIR \ - --config $CONFIG_DIR/$NAME.conf || STATUS=1 + --config $CONFIG_DIR/$NAME.conf || return + + for i in `seq 8`; do + sleep 1 + ip -o -f inet addr show $dev >/dev/null 2>&1 && STATUS=0 && break + log_progress_msg "." + done } stop_vpn () { kill `cat $PIDFILE` || true -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
