ONE LAST time i post you the systemd-unit to let openvpn behave like all the years before - only one instance possible and after create this damned file you can even do "chkconfig openvpn on" because it will be redirected to systemctl in the right order and if you like the simple syntax you can put as many copies as you need under /etc/systemd/system/ for different instances which different parameters and use "chkconfig" for all of them so please stop whine around because ONE SPECIFIC SPECIAL SERVICE for nearly all others you can use "chkconfig" as all the years before [root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /etc/systemd/system/openvpn.service [Unit] Description=OpenVPN After=syslog.target network.target [Service] Type=forking PIDFile=/var/run/openvpn/openvpn.pid ExecStartPre= ExecStart=/usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon --writepid /var/run/openvpn/openvpn.pid --cd /etc/openvpn/ --config openvpn.conf ExecStopPost= Restart=always RestartSec=1 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
