Thanks for your reply. It certainly helps; but I was already aware that
restarting OpenVPN was aa effective work-around. I hadn't got round to
doing it programatically, though.

However, whilst the work-around is effective, I would rather find out
what the underlying problem is, and correct that. If that fails, then,
yes, I'll use your script. So thanks very much!
