NAME

6       vtysh - a integrated shell for Quagga routing software

SYNOPSIS

9       vtysh [ -b ]
10       vtysh [ -E ] [ -d daemon ] ] [ -c command ]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       vtysh is a integrated shell for Quagga routing engine.
14

OPTIONS

16       Options available for the vtysh command:
17
18       -b, --boot
19              Execute boot startup configuration. It makes sense only if inte‐
20              grated config file is in use (not default in Quagga).  See  Info
21              file Quagga for more info.
22
23       -c, --command command
24              Specify command to be executed under batch mode. It behaves like
25              -c option in any other shell - command  is  executed  and  vtysh
26              exits.
27
28              It's  useful  for gathering info from Quagga routing software or
29              reconfiguring daemons from inside shell scripts, etc.  Note that
30              multiple  commands  may  be  executed  by using more than one -c
31              option and/or embedding linefeed characters inside  the  command
32              string.
33
34       -d, --daemon daemon_name
35              Specify  which daemon to connect to.  By default, vtysh attempts
36              to connect to all Quagga daemons running on  the  system.   With
37              this  flag,  one  can  specify  a  single  daemon  to connect to
38              instead.  For example, specifying '-d ospfd' will  connect  only
39              to  ospfd.   This can be particularly useful inside scripts with
40              -c where the command is targeted for a single daemon.
41
42       -e, --execute command
43              Alias for -c. It's here only for compatibility with Zebra  rout‐
44              ing  software and older Quagga versions. This will be removed in
45              future.
46
47       -E, --echo
48              When the -c option is being used, this flag will cause the stan‐
49              dard  vtysh  prompt and command to be echoed prior to displaying
50              the results.   This  is  particularly  useful  to  separate  the
51              results when executing multiple commands.
52
53       -h, --help
54              Display a usage message on standard output and exit.
