1st step i elected was to set openvpn Ineractive service to manual
along with *all* openvpn services set to manual.  Then stop all those 
services and reboot.

Result upon reboot openvpnserv2 *is* started while other openvpn 
services are not. The openvpn log shows that it is started not continued.

I expect this will turn out to have nothing to do with openvpn but ..

I will try the bisect approach, thanks
