Re: [Openvpn-users] Re: Tray Showing for OpenVPN GUI Problem

[Lonnie Cumberland <lonnie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like that might do the trick.....

I guess that having a command-line switch to kill any running instances 
of OpenVPN GUI is really not the best solution, but it might be 
something to consider for special situations.

maybe something like:

openvpngui.exe --restart
or
openvpngui.exe -- stop

just my 2 cents worth though and your solution sounds much better.

Thanks,
Lonnie
