[Openvpn-users] running "bridge-start" script for dummies

hi

I am pretty poor at linux fundamentals, and am struggling with "bridge-start" script that I need to run before the openvpn service, if I want to run a bridged vpn. I installed openvpn from rpm's for FC2 and that was fine. I can create a routed vpn, but i need bridged.
In the howto it says that you need to run "bridge-start" and then the openvpn service. The rpm has put a startup script for openvpn in "/etc/rc.d/init.d/ that parses the working directory of openvpn for .conf files and starts the openvpn service if it finds some.
What i don't know is where and how to put a line of text that will run the bridge-start script at the appopriate time.
Of course once i work that out, i should probably also know where and when and how to run the bridge-stop script for an orderly shutdown/reboot


Apologies for such a dumbo question.

daniel
