As far as I understand, the interactive service is fully controlled by=20
the GUI ("hey service, run *this* with my credentials, but permit it
to talk to you and request route changes").

The "openvpnserv.exe" process can now actually run as two different=20
things - the classic "openvpn service" which just starts openvpn.exe
at service start time, and the new "interactive service" which helps
the GUI for, well, "interactive" openvpn usage.

Since Heiko has reworked the "classic" code (in automatic.c now, as
he called this "automatic service") maybe we can just use the opportunity
to get the remaining issues fixed - is there more than "restart openvpn.exe
when it dies"?
