How to run script after OpenVPN's TUN driver is up under Ubuntu

  • 772

I would like to execute a bash script after a TUN driver (e.g. tun0) is up under ubuntu 9.04/9.10. I need it to use the assigned VPN IP in some configuration scripts. Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks in advance,

Humber

    Look in the manual page for the --up cmd configuration entry. The script cmd is passed a whole lot of environment variables that tell it what is going on, and anything you might want to do is covered by those.

  2. You can try the --up switch (on command lien) or the up directive (in config file). See the OpenVPN MAN page.
