Subject: t_client.sh: Make OpenVPN write PID file to avoid various sudo issues
X-Git-Tag: v2.4_alpha1~35
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e0926ebfe55347843af701216be9598827a1367a;p=thirdparty%2Fopenvpn.git

t_client.sh: Make OpenVPN write PID file to avoid various sudo issues

This resolves an issue where $! returns the PID of the sudo process instead
of the PID of OpenVPN and when sudo does not properly propagate signales
down to OpenVPN.
