Raspberry + OpenElec Automatically starting VPN

[sunshineh]

Hi,

on my Raspberry I am having the Linux Media Center OpenElec and OpenVPN installed and created my *.openvpn File.
When I write the following line on my terminal (WinSCP) VPN is correctly running:
openvpn /storage/.config/Austria-tcp.ovpn

Now I want, that VPN is automatically running and wrote the following lines into the "autostart.sh":
(
sleep 60;
openvpn /storage/.config/Austria-tcp.ovpn
) &

But it isn't running automatically
Is there any possibiblity, that I can check the vpn connection automatically, and if it isn't working, that it is running automatically again.

If the operating system isn't Raspbian you'll need to post your question over on the forum for your OS.

OpenVPN runs from /etc/default/openvpn on Raspbian and it's trivial to get it autostarted.
