Hi there

I am having a strange issue in that a command in my debug.cfg is not executing properly (it is properly typed...)

i am trying to add an interface to the bridge using the command

cd /var/tmp/vpn
./brctl addif lan tap0

but the interface never gets added. if i telnet into the box and retype the command by hand then it works fine.

any thoughts?

Maybe you should insert a sleep-command?

before the cd?

Especially before the command. Try

sleep 60
cd /var/tmp/vpn
./brctl addif lan tap0

I think its dangerous to do it like this.

Maybe:
"(sleep 60; cd /var/tmp/vpn/; ./brctl addif lan tap0) &" is a better way.

Resolved.

i was being dim.
i was loading openvpn before starting the bridge. but loaded the openvpn binary with an &w suffix.
