After a few days on Google, I'm not able to find the right answer to my question. After reading a lot of scripting possibilities, then OpenVPN is up.
I have a client running Debian 7.8, with OpenVPN 2.2.1 x86_64-linux-gnu.
The connection is working great, and everything is fine. But - I need to mount some NFS-drives then the connection is initiated ('up' - I guess).
C# Execute External Program
But - then I'm trying to start a script, I'm running into this error:
I have added the settings in the config-file:
See the full settings file here.
The script I'm trying to run (just for testing right now) is:
(Update 2017: - The '!' mark is missing in the #/bin/bash-line. Don't copy/paste above line, cause it was the problem)
I have tested with '#!/bin/sh' as well, just to be sure. After all, i tested the permissions and ownership:
As you can see, I have added 'script-security 2' before the 'up' and 'down' commands. OpenVPN is running as root, and started by a init.d script, but even if I'm trying to run it with the full command, I get the same error.
Se the example below (with and without sudo):
If I'm running the damn small script by myself, with both SU and Sudo, everything is going smooth without any issues.
The point is that I need to run this command, to mount a few NFS-drives, but right now I'm locked down. So I need some help here - I did try on a Danish forum with no luck.
The online manuels is not that helpful - and now I need your help.

I ran into the same issue, luckily I found a solution.
Here are things I checked:
- permission of folder
- permission of openvpn to access script
- the script must list the full path of any commands used (ex.
grepshould be/bin/grep; you can find the full path by typingwhichin front of your command) - use
script-security 2 systeminstead

Just to make it clear:I forgot the '!' (exclamation mark). That's explain everything.
Check username under which openvp daemon is running and chown your script folder or file to it.
