Send Commands to a Running Instance of OpenVPN GUI |
|
|
|
|
************************************************** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When an instance of the GUI is running, certain commands may be sent to |
|
|
|
|
it using the command line interface using the following syntax:: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
openvpn-gui.exe --command *cmd* [*args*] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently supported *cmds* are |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
connect ``config-name`` |
|
|
|
|
Connect the configuration named *config-name* (excluding the |
|
|
|
|
extension .ovpn). If already connected, show the status window. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disconnect ``config-name`` |
|
|
|
|
Disconnect the configuration named *config-name* if connected. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reconnect ``config-name`` |
|
|
|
|
Disconnect and then reconnect the configuration named *config-name* |
|
|
|
|
if connected. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disconnect\_all |
|
|
|
|
Disconnect all active connections. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
silent\_connection 0 \| 1 |
|
|
|
|
Set the silent connection flag on (1) or off (0) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exit |
|
|
|
|
Disconnect all active connections and terminate the GUI process |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If no running instance of the GUI is found, these commands do nothing |
|
|
|
|
except for *--command connect config-name* which gets interpreted |
|
|
|
|
as *--connect config-name* |
