You mixed up 'reload' command (which does something different) with 'configure' command, which does reconfiguration and allows file path as argument. You can use '?' in birdc shell to get brief description of commands. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."

Yes , bird is runnign fine , but it can run only the default configuration file bird.conf and I can not pass any other configuration file regards From: Mo Shivji [mailto:moyaze@linx.net] Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 3:43 PM To: k.abdalla@q-ab.com Cc: bird-users@network.cz Subject: Re: BIRD Error On 13 Dec 2017, at 13:31, <k.abdalla@q-ab.com <mailto:k.abdalla@q-ab.com> > <k.abdalla@q-ab.com <mailto:k.abdalla@q-ab.com> > wrote: Hi all , It’s my first time running BIRD instance and when I tried to run bird –c myfile.conf it gave below error : “bird: I found another BIRD running” Your help is much appreciated Thanks Looks like bird is already running on your system.
