No, that should be quite good enough IMHO. The first time I considered it, I decided that using a separate process to enable/disable the service was a poor decision on grounds of interface consistency (thinking as a *nix user, there are a number of different ways to supervise processes and grant privileges wrt starting/stopping them, and such conventions vary by site, so guaranteeing that an user could start/stop the service via a consistent interface would require some functionality built into OpenVPN itself). You make an excellent point, however, that OpenVPN on Windows already uses a consistent service wrapper everywhere -- and folks on *nix and friends are more than capable of fending for ourselves. ____________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users Warning: require_once(../../../archive_common.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/openvpn/domains/openvpn.net/public_html/archive/openvpn-users/2004-12/msg00095.html on line 200 Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../../../archive_common.php' (include_path='/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/openvpn/domains/openvpn.net/public_html/archive/openvpn-users/2004-12/msg00095.html on line 200 |
