The only thing I am currently missing is an integrated grep|include and
a tab completion for all Protocols|Symbols as a couple of "views", that
we currently have to parse via awk|younameit.

f.e.:

show protocols R1<tab>
R192_168_0_1
R10_0_0_1
show protocols R19<tab>
show protocols R192_168_0_1

or

show symbols | grep R192

Don't think it's such a good idea to put a version control system
directly in the bird code, like juniper does|have, since there are so
many systems and admin flavours out there.

As Ondrej already mentioned, being able to configure <FILE> directly
from CLI should be ok:

echo "configure /etc/bird/crazybirdconf" | birdc

should be sufficient and can be triggered via cron, ssh or whatever.


Here I would like to see something like:

birdc -c "configure /etc/bird/crazybirdconf"

or

birdc -x command_file >output


Just my .50 €

Rgds, Stefan
