Yes, the OpenVPN init script will execute a .sh script before it starts
the .conf.

But it will also (as of 2.0-rc20) execute /etc/openvpn/openvpn-startup, if 
it exists, on startup of the init script, and openvpn-shutdown on 
shutdown.

This may be a better place to put certain kinds of scripting which needs 
to be executed once, before any OpenVPN .conf files or their related .sh 
files are started.
