But I thought I do not want unnecessay complexities related to config control, so I tried to first ask rtrmgr to start static_routes, then use the channel between daemon and static_routes directly to update static routes. But a big problem is that if a user use xorpsh CLI to "delete protocol static", then my daemon will not only lose the channel to static_routes which is terminated by CLI, but also will lose all the static routes installed by my daemon. Basically xorpsh CLI sessions can not cooperate with my daemon.

If your daemon communicates to xorp through xorpsh, it seems like it would work OK.

A user could always screw something by manually messing with xorpsh (or
doing worse things on the linux command-line, for example).

Maybe you are worried about concurrent xorpsh usage by your script and
a user?  I'm not sure how that would work..but I can imagine it being
a problem.

Thanks,
Ben
