openvpn2 startup script not working

[thomas.hartwig@…]

Hi, I tested the openvpn2 port and I have major issues with the startup script org.macports.openvpn2.plist. I can run the daemon manually and the tunnel is established but I can not get it running automatically via launchctl for following reasons:

1. bin -> sbin: the script uses the wrong location for openvpn2, instead of /opt/local/bin/openvpn2 it should be /opt/local/sbin/openvpn2
2. daemondo: I can run the whole daemondo call from the command line, but if I run the script via launchctl it only logs that the service did run for 0 seconds only. I can not find any further ouptut showing me what might be wrong with the script.
3. debug: launchtl is giving a warning: The Debug key is no longer respected. Please remove it.
4. inefficient: launchtl is giving a warning: This service is defined to be constantly running and is inherently inefficient.

In the end it is not starting and I don't know where to look else, my only source of logging is /var/log/system.log.

My system is Sierra 10.12.

This is how I can establish the tunnel:

daemondo --label=openvpn2 --start-cmd /opt/local/sbin/openvpn2 --cd /opt/local/etc/openvpn2 --config /opt/local/etc/openvpn2/my.conf \;

The script currently looks like this:
