The VPN connection is not set up.

Problem is that open_tun that does not set the actual device name.  Calling the 
script needs the actual device name as parameter. 

Setting the actual real device name is rather compliacted I think I will 
something like "android-tun" instead of tun0/tun1.

Thanks for the apk.
Now I have got a new problem:
MNGT:Got unrecognized command>FATAL:
WARNING:Failed running command (--up/--down): could not execute external program

My up command is: up 'echo up'

Yes. OpenVPN is right. You probably don't have an echo program on your 
telephone. :)

That's right.

I would like to launch an application when the VPN is up.

I've written a script that calls the 'am' command to start my application.
If I execute 'sh /sdcard/vpn.sh' from adb shell, it starts my application as 
expected.
But if I insert the command: up /sdcard/vpn.sh in the openvpn config, I've got 
the previous error.

How could I sort out this problem ?
Thanks.

Should have read full path.

Latest news:

Now, I'm able to execute a script file.
To achieve that, I've added the following line in the config file:
   up "/system/bin/sh /sdcard/vpn.sh"

Hereafter is a copy of vpn.sh (3 lines)
#!/system/bin/mksh
export PATH=$PATH:/system/bin
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n 
com.csipsimple/com.csipsimple.ui.SipHome


But my application is not started. It seems that openvpn has not the right to 
launch another application.
