VTYSH(1)			Version 0.96.5			      VTYSH(1)

NAME
       vtysh - a integrated shell for Quagga routing software

SYNOPSIS
       vtysh [ -b ]
       vtysh [ -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 from
	      shell scripts etc.

       -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.

       -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).

WARNING
       This  man  page	is  intended  to be a quick reference for command line
       options. The definitive document is the Info file Quagga.

BUGS
       Running the command which outputs large amount of  data	through	 pager
       ("show  ip  ospf	 database",  "show  ip bgp" etc. in big networks) will
       cause daemon to be unresponsive until vtysh returns back to the prompt.

       vtysh eats bugs for breakfast. If you have food for the maintainers try
