Description Jeremy Kitchen 2004-06-28 19:00:44 UTC

if /etc/openvpn doesn't exist, the cd fails but it continues onward as if it didn't fail.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge openvpn
2. don't create /etc/openvpn
3. /etc/init.d/openvpn start

Actual Results:  
stfu ~ # /etc/init.d/openvpn stop
/sbin/runscript.sh: line 35: cd: /etc/openvpn: No such file or directory

Comment 1 Jeremy Kitchen 2004-06-28 19:08:42 UTC

after digging further, it appears there are quite a few other problems with this init script.  I attempted to fix them, but unfortunately I'm not overly savvy with gentoo init scripts, so I figure I"ll report the bug.
