Hi,

I have some issue using client-connect script.
I just wrote a test script that contains the following code:

#!/bin/bash
exit 0

My Server configuration contains the following:

Code: Select all

script-security 2
client-connect "C:\\cc_static_ip.sh"

Every time a Client is trying to connect I see the following error:

env_block: add PATH=C:\WINDOWS\System32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
openvpn_execve: CreateProcess C:\cc_static_ip.sh failed: Unknown error (errno=193)
WARNING: Failed running command (--client-connect): external program did not execute -- returned error code -1

What I am doing wrong ???

When I rename the file as *.bat this is then working...
I could run the script file as *.sh without error in a Command Prompt on this computer....

Openvpn needs to know what ever the interpreter is you use for bash.

Code: Select all

client-connect "/path/to/sh.exe C:\\cc_static_ip.sh"

Whatever sh.exe is .. ?

Ok thanks for the info.
I have updated my script to a batch script file that now works under windows.
