so I have this bash script right here. Basically, it connects my machine to a server and download files from the server and store them in the /tmp directory. The problem is that the bash script stops at the openvpn command and doesn't read what's next, even if the openvpn is in background. Any help please?



Sites=`ls`

for site in $Sites
do
((i=0))

cd $site/vpn

address="$(grep "172" info-$site.txt | cut -c 5-17)"
echo "IP: $address"

ret="$(route | grep "172.16" | cut -c 1-10)"


echo 'password_1' | sudo -S openvpn --config $site.ovpn --auth-user-pass $1$2/$site/vpn/login-$site.txt &

while [ X"$ret" = X"" -o "$i" -le 10 ]; do

echo "toto while"
ret="$(route | grep "172.16" | cut -c 1-10)"
sleep 1
let "i=i+1"
done

sshpass -p 'password2' scp root@"$address":/usr/envitech/DataReports/* /tmp;
done


But I get this error:



ssh connect to host xxxxxx port 22: Connection timed out
