#344 closed Bug / Defect ( invalid )

init-script only starts the first interface on restart

Description

On SuSE Linux, calling "/etc/init.d/openvpn restart" causes openvpn to close down all active interfaces and to call itself again with "/etc/init.d/openvpn start <list of interfaces>". However, only the first two parameters are actually evaluated in the init script: 

action="$1" ; shift
config="$1" ; shift

Thus, only the first interface ist started, the second and further stay down.

Maybe this is a bug specific to the OpenSuSE distribution:

That very much sounds like a SuSE specific bug - the init script examples we ship does not contain this code at all.

So please report the bug over there :-) - thanks.
