VTYSH(1)			Version	0.96.5			      VTYSH(1)

NAME
       vtysh - a integrated shell for Quagga routing software

SYNOPSIS
       vtysh [ -b ]
       vtysh [ -E ] [ -d daemon	] ] [ -c command ]

DESCRIPTION
       vtysh is	a integrated shell for Quagga routing engine.

OPTIONS
       Options available for the vtysh command:

       -b, --boot
	      Execute boot startup configuration. It makes sense only if inte-
	      grated  config  file is in use (not default in Quagga). See Info
	      file Quagga for more info.

       -c, --command command
	      Specify command to be executed under batch mode. It behaves like
	      -c option	in any other shell - command is	executed and vtysh ex-
	      its.

	      It's useful for gathering	info from Quagga routing  software  or
	      reconfiguring daemons from inside	shell scripts, etc.  Note that
	      multiple	commands may be	executed by using more than one	-c op-
	      tion and/or embedding linefeed  characters  inside  the  command
	      string.

       -d, --daemon daemon_name
	      Specify  which daemon to connect to.  By default,	vtysh attempts
	      to connect to all	Quagga daemons running on  the	system.	  With
	      this  flag,  one	can  specify a single daemon to	connect	to in-
	      stead.  For example, specifying '-d ospfd' will connect only  to
	      ospfd.   This  can be particularly useful	inside scripts with -c
	      where the	command	is targeted for	a single daemon.

       -e, --execute command
	      Alias for	-c. It's here only for compatibility with Zebra	 rout-
	      ing  software and	older Quagga versions. This will be removed in
	      future.

       -E, --echo
	      When the -c option is being used,	this flag will cause the stan-
	      dard vtysh prompt	and command to be echoed prior	to  displaying
	      the  results.   This  is particularly useful to separate the re-
	      sults when executing multiple commands.

       -h, --help
	      Display a	usage message on standard output and exit.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       VTYSH_PAGER
	      This should be the name of the pager to use. Default is more.

FILES
       /usr/local/etc/vtysh.conf
	      The default location of the vtysh	config file.

       /usr/local/etc/Quagga.conf
	      The default location of the  integrated  Quagga  routing	engine
	      config file if integrated	config file is in use (not default).

       ${HOME}/.history_quagga
	      Location of history of commands entered via cli
