My initial idea was to build a preference pane to turn the

start up correctly from code.
How about toggling the OnDemand flag in your preference
As far as I can understand, if OnDemand is false the service runs
continuously; if it is true, the service runs when needed. If it
worked, I could simply set OnDemand to true, put my .plist file in /
Library/LaunchDaemons and live happily. But, so far, I was not able
to make this approach effective: openvpn changes the routing tables,
so it should be started at least once, I guess (I have also tried the
combination OnDemand=true and RunAtLoad=true, but it is the same as
OnDemand=false, i.e. openvpn starts up and runs continuously).
Setting OnDemand to true simply makes openvpn (the client) never
start. I have read about the Sockets key, but it is not clear to me
if that may help.
Maybe it would be more appropriate to toggle the Disabled flag, but
when would this change take effect? On restart? The best I was able
to do so far is to put a .plist file in /Library/LaunchDaemons so
that openvpn is launched at startup.
