Run script whe openvpn is disabled
-
I've tried to run a script when openvpn goes down, like:
down '/var/etc/openvpn/route.sh'This script simple add a route, but openvpn logs show this warning:
Failed running command (–up/--down): could not execute external programThe script is executable, have no error and root is the owner.

Not sure if i understand what you are trying to do.
What is your final goal?
If you want to add a route when the tunnel goes down:Create a static route and add the same route as two higher-prioritised routes to the "custom commands" field.
eg:
Add a static route for 10.0.0.0/24 pointing to 172.16.0.2
When the tunnel is up 10.0.0.0/24 should be routed to the other side of the tunnel (tunnelsubnet 192.168.0.0/29)
–>custom commands:
route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.128; route 10.0.0.128 255.255.255.128in the routing table it would look like this:
IPv4
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Mtu Netif Expire
10.0.0.0/24 172.16.0.2 UGS 0 0 1500 vr0
10.0.0.0/25 192.168.0.6 UGS 0 0 1500 tun0
10.0.0.128/25 192.168.0.6 UGS 0 0 1500 tun0 -
I want to add a route to an MPLS when openvpn goes down.
Your explanation looks right, i was thinking, how the pfsense will route packets to 10.0.0.10 (for example)if there is two route for the same subnet?
then I remembered that routers use more especific route first.thank you GruensFroeschli, it's resolved for me, but i believe that others may try to call an script for other reasons and get same error, someone can explain why this happen?

I don't really know why you had problems. I never really needed up/down scripts on a pfSense yet.
On linux i once had similar problems but they were actual bugs in OpenVPN itself which i solved by using a different version of OpenVPN.
