Command line status check and other commands

Post by TommyKL » Tue Dec 21, 2021 9:44 pm

I know I can telnet into the admin port but is there a way to run commands from the command line, sending them to the admin interface and receiving a reply?

For example, getting a status, just a one time status without having to log into the interface. Is it possible?
I've been searching for hours but maybe I am not using the right key words.

No such interface exists within Openvpn-CE.
