Hi, i see we can use script, so we would like to receive a mail when a client is connecting to our server, and when he lost the connection?
Can we do that and how?
We are using openvpon 2.1.0 on Linux.
thanks

Use a 'client-connect' and 'client-disconnect' script. The script would do something like
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
echo "$script_type $common_name" | mail someuser@somehost

some work on your part is required: read the HOWTO and manual page, or buy my book and read chapter 6

use a 'client-connect' script on the server side. Read the manual page or buy my book and read chapter 6
