SCO routing

[brendangriffin]

Hi,

I am using the command ROUTE ADD xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, this works fine but once the machine has been rebooted it losses this setting,

Is there anyway that I can set this up to be a persistant route or at least one that can be re-initialised at boot up.

Thanks

Brendan

You could add a script a start up script.
Place all of your routing statements into /etc/rc2.d/S99route

Something like this:

# S99route statement
# vi S99route
# echo "Setting up default route"
# /etc/route add default 192.168.1.1
# chown root S99route
# chgrp sys S99route
# chmod 744 S99route


echo "Setting up default route"
/etc/route add default 192.168.1.1

Please do not advise adding scripts like this without understanding the version. The advice is NOT appropriate for 5.0.6 and there are better ways on 5.0.4 and 5.0.5

The faq faq58-1436 fully covers this.
