SoftEther VPN User Forum

Has anyone been able to get the vpnclient to autostart on Ubuntu 14.04 and up? Chkconfig is no longer used and is broken and apparently Ubuntu uses update-rc.d to enable servies at boot time. I am using a modified script from the vpnserver config as shown below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# chkconfig: 2345 99 01
# description: SoftEther VPN Client
DAEMON=/usr/local/vpnclient/vpnclient
LOCK=/var/lock/subsys/vpnclient
test -x $DAEMON || exit 0
case "$1" in
start)
$DAEMON start
touch $LOCK
;;
stop)
$DAEMON stop
rm $LOCK
;;
restart)
$DAEMON stop
sleep 3
$DAEMON start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, I receive the following error messages when trying to use "update-rc.d vpnclient defaults":

insserv: warning: script 'vpnclient' missing LSB tags and overrides

Is there any actual problem?

I don't know how to add the LSB tags and overrides.

It's a warning not an error

I simply use the script as follows (see http://xmodulo.com/how-to-automatically ... ebian.html) assuming that vpnclient is unzipped under /home/USER/vpnclient. Note that the connection must be configured as "startupset" by vpncmd in advance.

#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/foobar

# The following part always gets executed.
echo "This part always gets executed"

# The following part carries out specific functions depending on arguments.
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting foobar"
sudo /home/USER/vpnclient/vpnclient start
sleep 2
sudo dhclient vpn_vnic
echo "foobar is alive"
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping foobar"
sudo /home/USER/vpnclient/vpnclient stop
echo "foobar is dead"
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/foobar {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;
esac

exit 0
