Hi,

I recently noticed, that there isn‘t a systemd unit for bird.

That’s why I want to share mine. You could add them into the bird package @ondrej

Further information: you need to put this into /etc/systemd/system

Furthermore I wrote a script in perl which basicly activates or disables the originating of the default-route into the ospf area relating to incoming BGP routes.

The needed perl module is from this page: https://github.com/stephank/nagios-bird

You need to download birdctl.pm and put it in the same folder as the script.
Next you need to adjust the ENV variable to your folder.

As a little extra I created a systemd unit for my script.

You need to adjust the path here, too.

Greetings, Sascha.
