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 exits.

	    It's useful for gathering info from Quagga routing software  or  re-
	    configuring  daemons from inside shell scripts, etc.  Note that mul-
	    tiple commands may be executed by using  more  than  one  -c  option
	    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 instead.  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 routing
	    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	standard
	    vtysh  prompt  and	command to be echoed prior to displaying the re-
	    sults.  This is particularly useful to separate the results when ex-
	    ecuting 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
