Script start to early............!!??

[octopus]

I have "openvpn-event" that call a script to get ip number from my VPN-provider. (useing canufranks script) Script executed before TUN11 is connected and no ip shows, saves ip in a file at /jffs/vpnip at then moment.

if [ "$dev" == "tun11" ]; then
sh /jffs/vpn_script.sh
ip="`cat /jffs/ip`"
logger -t $(basename $0) "$dev $ip show"

I have look at "vpn_client1_state" state 0-1-2 with no luck. Is there any way to start script after client1 have connected to my vpn-provider and tunnel is established? I also use Martineau vpn routing script.

Thanks.

openvpn-event gets passed a bunch of environmental variables. Check the OpenVPN documentation for their list, one of them might contain the IP you need.

Otherwise, you could try inserting a "sleep 5" in there in case it's just a timing issue.

isnt there any "signal" tells connected and established?
openvpn-event have this, scoplink and i want vpn endpoit ip.
Canufranks script working fine just executed to early to get vpn-ipnumber.

openvpn-event (args: tun11 1500 1558 10.128.0.12 ) = scope link src 10.128.0.12

Maby possible to use:

--route-up
Executed after connection authentication, either immediately after, or some number of seconds after as defined by the --route-delay option.

route-up calls vpnrouting.sh, with a route-delay of 2 seconds. At the end of vpnrouting.sh there's a call for openvpn-event. So, openvpn-event should work, just make sure you check which event triggered it, as it might possibly be called for different events.
