It appears that, unlike the SysV control script, the systemd version 
calls neither bridge-start nor bridge-stop.  If I do that myself,
openvpn works.

Given this, and the as yet unresolved problem I
have with httpd not starting, I think that I
will write my own startup script controlled by
a .service file.

What might I put in the .service file to assure that
my script is run as late in the startup sequence as
possible? I'm thinking about a "sleep 1" at the
beginning of the script itself.

Thanks,
Mike.
