Hi,

Setup an OpenVPN connection with NetworkManager 1.0.10 is not
always painless... I ended up with a setup where an
infinite number of openvpn daemons tried to connect to one single
server.
The problem seems to be that NetworkManager does not (or at least not
in any case) stop a VPN connection (stop the
openvpn daemon) to a particular remote before setting up a new VPN
connection (start an openvpn daemon) to the same
remote.


It seems the the pending child processes in nm-openvpn-service are not
properly tracked.

I opened BZ https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761299 for that
and patch
https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-openvpn/log/?h=th/handle-child-process-bgo761299
is on review. ...

Thought his patch will not trivially backport to nm-1-0 branch...
