Hi,
I'm working on upgrading our route servers to the latest versions
(debian stretch and the bird debian package 1.6.3.
I need to specify during startup "-c /path/to/config/file" but whatever
I do, it just gets ignored and still tries to use /etc/bird/bird.conf
I have tried:
- Editing /etc/init.d/bird and adding BIRD_ARGS="-c
/etc/bird/bird-vlanid1-ipv4.conf"
- Editing /etc/defaults/bird (deprecated??)
- Editing /etc/bird/envvars
- Editing the systemctl with "systemctl edit bird.service" as suggested
here:
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg1503154.html
- Restarting systemctl daemon-reload
There is clearly some step I am missing to make it pick up the config
change, but I can't find what it is.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
