Dear Colleagues, Is there a way to export (extract) routes from BIRD as a list of prefixes in text format, to a text file or pipe? I can perhaps write an expect script to communicate with birdc, but such kind of screenscraping is always the last resort. Or should I communicate through the /var/run/bird.ctl socket? What's the set of commands I can send to the socket to extract some routes with a filter? I can do: $ echo help | nc -U /var/run/bird.ctl 0001 BIRD 1.5.0 ready. 9001 syntax error Thank in advance for any input. Maybe there are sample scripts? -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:sudakov@sibptus.tomsk.ru
