The script for /etc/init.d/ should be in specific format. Move your openvpn_start.sh into /root/ folder.
Create new script /etc/init.d/openvpn_start (without extention). Change script root permissions to executable

After next reboot still, service is on, but not connectin:
Additionally openvpnservice is ON
so is should autoconnect as I have marked in config:
resolv-retry infinite
My script check_pseudo_UPS was updated to openvpn_start.
Replace in script comments check_pseudo_UPS to openvpn_start self. This is important.
Don't reboot NAS. Just check with command
# /etc/init.d/openvpn_start restart
root@nas-36-0D-9D:~# /etc/init.d/openvpn_start restart /etc/init.d/openvpn_start: 29: kill: No such process Service not running Starting service. Service started
and?
works :)
Thank you, let me check it after a few reboots, but I hope will not change.
