--up script with network

[balboah]

I'm trying to create a script that should connect to a server within the vpn network when the connection is established,
where can I hook this up? Doesn't seem to be able to connect in the --up state.

SCRIPTING AND ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES

OpenVPN exports a series of environmental variables for use by user-defined scripts.
Script Order of Execution

--up
Executed after TCP/UDP socket bind and TUN/TAP open.
--tls-verify
Executed when we have a still untrusted remote peer.
--ipchange
Executed after connection authentication, or remote IP address change.
--client-connect
Executed in --mode server mode immediately after client authentication.
--route-up
Executed after connection authentication, either immediately after, or some number of seconds after as defined by the --route-delay option.
--client-disconnect
Executed in --mode server mode on client instance shutdown.
--down
Executed after TCP/UDP and TUN/TAP close.
--learn-address
Executed in --mode server mode whenever an IPv4 address/route or MAC address is added to OpenVPN's internal routing table.
--auth-user-pass-verify
Executed in --mode server mode on new client connections, when the client is still untrusted.
