The module will then remain +in a wait state until it receives a message from OpenVPN via +pipe to execute the down script. Thus, the down script will be +run in the same execution environment as the up script. + +BUILD + +Build this module with the "make" command. The plugin +module will be named openvpn-down-root.so + +USAGE + +To use this module, add to your OpenVPN config file: + + plugin openvpn-down-root.so "command ..." + +CAVEATS + +This module will only work on *nix systems, not Windows. |
