#110 closed Bug / Defect (wontfix)
openvpnserv.exe does not exit even if there are no openvpn.exe processes
Reported by: | Samuli Seppänen | Owned by: | Samuli Seppänen |
---|---|---|---|
Priority: | major | Milestone: | alpha 2.4 |
Component: | Generic / unclassified | Version: | OpenVPN git master branch (Community Ed) |
Severity: | Not set (select this one, unless your'e a OpenVPN developer) | Keywords: | windows openvpnserv nssm |

Description
Currently openvpnserv.exe does not exit if openvpn.exe exits, e.g. due to a bug in a down script. As discussed in this thread and in the IRC meeting on 24th Mar 2011 this behavior is undesirable: openvpnserv.exe could safely exit when no openvpn.exe processes are running. This way people could leverage on Windows service auto-restart-after-crash capability.

Shall we just ship a (2.3!) installer with the new service management thingie, and close all bugs related to openvpnserv.exe?

cron2: that is an option if nssm proves to be robust enough. I'd keep it alongside openvpnserv.exe at least for some 2.3.x point releases before entirely scrapping openvpnserv.exe.

Yet another NSSM one :-) - and most definitely 2.4_ALPHA "really, really quick!"

Nssm is gone, but we have a replacement (openvpnserv2) for openvpnserv now. Can someone test if this installer fixes this problem?
Details in ticket 71.

The old openvpnserv.exe could not restart crashed connections, so having openvpnserv.exe itself die, and letting Windows bring it back up would have made some sense. I say "some", because with more than one connection all would have to crash for this restarting to take place.
In any case, openvpnserv2 fixes this, as it will restart individual crashed OpenVPN connections. Closing this ticket as fixed. Please reopen if this is not the case in practice.

Nobody has touched openvpnserv.exe code in ages so this issue still persists...
