Multiple --up scripts and no error

Description (last modified by David Sommerseth)

Transferred from: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2078470&group_id=48978&atid=454719

It seems that openvpn doesn't allow multiple --up (probably --down, too) scripts in configuration file.

The problem is that if multiple up scripts are placed in configuration only one is run but unfortunately openvpn doesn't issue error message about duplicated entries.

There are two solutions:
1) issue error message if duplication happens
2) implement support for running multiple scripts with multiple "up" commands (just like multiple route commands are allowed). This one is prefered :-)


Response from janjust:

option 1 sounds like a good idea but then it would have to apply to *all*
options; if we do that then it becomes annoying to overrule a config file
option with a command-line option ...

option 2 is not an option.

Opinions?

Fix multiple configured scripts conflicts issue


This is a fix for trac ticket #20,
<https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/20>
which was started in the sf.net bug tracker:
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2078470&group_id=48978&atid=454719>


The implemented solution is to give a warning for each of the different script
hooks available. The last configured script will override any earlier
configured scripts, to ensure that the command line can override the
configuration file.
