CVS commit: basesrc/sbin/route

[Andrew Brown <atatat%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    basesrc
Committed By:   atatat
Date:           Wed Oct 24 18:40:17 UTC 2001

Modified Files:
        basesrc/sbin/route: route.8 route.c

Log Message:
Provide a short output format for the get command that only prints the
address corresponding to RTA_GATEWAY, or nothing if it doesn't exist.
Modify the exit value of route depending on this, so that one can do
stuff like:

#!/bin/sh
gw=`route -sn get default 2>/dev/null`
if [ -z "$gw" ]; then
        echo no default route
        exit 1
fi
ping -w1 -c1 $gw >/dev/null 2>&1
if ! route -sn get $gw >/dev/null; then
        echo default gateway not responding
        exit 1
fi
echo default gateway is at $gw
