Dear Bird Users,
we (Vienna Internet Exchange) are one step closer to deploying bird into beta for our exchange - we have an automated configuration generation tool that grabs all data from our database and creates a ... and parsing the output? Ideally I'd like to call 'bird -c /etc/bird.conf --check-config' and check the return-status of this script. I guess this wouldn't be hard to do, would it?
There are two ways how it could be implemented:
1) send configure [soft] command and use the return code of the command. - using bird control socket, return code is prepend to the answer.
allright, sounds like a plan .
2) add that option as you suggested. I think we could implement it in the next version.
that would be nice. I could also live with a standalone-executable that just runs the configure soft command like mentioned above and returns the status in shell-ish-return-code. great, thanks.
