I am writing a script to automatically connect to my VPN server for me, providing my creds. Here is what I have:

sudo openvpn --auth-user-pass up.txt <host>.udp.ovpn

I am getting this error though:

Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in [CMD-LINE]:1: auth-user-pass (2.4.4)

After reading the man page on openvpn, I see this:
"Authenticate with server using username/password. up is a file containing username/password on 2 lines (Note: OpenVPN will only read passwords from a file if it has been built with the --enable-password-save configure option, or on Windows by defining ENABLE_PASSWORD_SAVE in win/settings.in).
If up is omitted, username/password will be prompted from the console.
