In order to make sure that the <B
CLASS="command"
>vpnd</B
> script keeps running, add
an entry to the client's crontab that runs the <B
CLASS="command"
>check-vpnd</B
>
script. I run mine every 5 minutes or so. If <B
CLASS="command"
>vpnd</B
> is indeed
running, <B
CLASS="command"
>check-vpnd</B
> doesn't use much CPU.
