OpenVPN & Reconnect



Hi,
  I recently had a VPN server restart ( kernel upgrades happen ) and now
noticed that none of my VPN clients are automatically reconnecting.


The -logfile- says it's connecting:

Aug 12 17:22:56 example nm-openvpn[683]: Initialization Sequence Completed


And the connection status says it's so:



# nmcli  c show
NAME                UUID            TYPE            DEVICE
tun0                31a636b6-03a4-41ab-bf08-79e61b83a573  generic
  --
Wired connection 1  f0feb605-d175-4742-85fd-b6ccef05e974  802-3-ethernet
 eth0
example               a25ea741-b360-4f3c-8244-78a15360cd77  vpn
    eth0



"ip addr" however shows the truth:
4: tun0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN
group default qlen 100
    link/none



For those machines that I can reach, I can do "nmcli c down example;
nmcli c up example" .. For the rest that I can't physically reach, I
have no idea what to do with..

Any suggestions here?
