DEar all:
i have got it . when we install openvpn , the tools will create a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpn....now we just modify the one line as below
eval ": \${${name}_configfile:=\"/usr/local/etc/openvpn/xxxx_config.ovpn\"}"

thanks. close this topic..

Do not modify the rc script. You should be able to just put the following in /etc/rc.conf

openvpn_enable="yes"
openvpn_configfile="/path/to/config"

Indeed, never edit the rc(8) scripts. If/when openvpn is updated your changes will get removed and the original file is restored.

And to do what you want from the first post:
cp /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpn /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpnxxx
Then in rc.conf you can set this:

openvpnxxx_enable="YES"
openvpnxxx_configfile="/usr/local/etc/openvpn/xxxx_config.ovpn"

The openvpn rc(8) script is specifically set up to allow this, so you can have multiple instances running, each with its own configuration.
