[Xorp-users] running xorp_rtrmgr

Is there a way to update the documentation available on the XORP website? I found that the xorp_rtrmgr manpage describes the use of the -d switch, but just in general, I feel some changes to the pdf are forthcoming, especially to improve it in terms of clarity in some areas. Thanks.

I am interested in starting xorp_rtrmgr with a config script, and still get my terminal back after running xorp_rtrmgr -b /path/to/myconfig.config. However, to regain use of my terminal, I find that I have to end the preceding command with an &. Is there any workaround to this that gives me control my shell without me giving it the &? Thanks.

Sounds like you want the -d option. Feel free to add documentation (or contribute a man page) if it isn't present already. The -L and -P options may also need documenting, these control logging and PID file creation.

A fix for syslog support exists in SVN trunk which does not exist in the 1.6 release.
