rtroute solicit is asynchronous, means it doesn't wait for any reply. Of course, one could enhance the core and the tool to gain a synchronous behaviour, but the questions is if this is worth the effort. Instead, you could check the existence of the remote device actively via rtping or by watching the routing table. A "grep" for the IP on that table (after a grace period or in a loop) may already help. Jan
