Disconnect openvpn client from command line windows

[deleted]

Hi all,
I need to schedule disconnection of my openvpn client using command line on windows platform.

If I kill process with "taskkill.exe /F /IM openvpn.exe" command, openvpn exit but following execution generate initialization error

WARNING: Failed to renew DHCP IP address lease on TAP-Windows adapter: The semaphore timeout period has expired.   (code=121)
TEST ROUTES: 0/0 succeeded len=1 ret=0 a=0 u/d=down

If I manually use F4 on keyboard into windows-prompt, disconnection of client is OK and I read on my log:

SIGTERM received, sending exit notifica
closing tun tap interface

To solve my problem I can send SIGTERM signal using shell but I don't know to do it

Can you help me please?

Thanks

Enable --management in the config file.

See --management in The Manual v23x

Then script a telnet session and pipe SIGTERM to it.
