ARCHIVED: Using IRIX on my SGI workstation, how do I establish routing?

To establish routing under IRIX on your SGI workstation, create a file called local and add it to the /etc/init.d directory. It should contain the following lines:

#! /bin/sh # Site-specific startup/shutdown functions case "$1" in 'start') route add default 129.79.xxx.254 1 ;; 'stop') ;; *) echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}" ;; esac

Note: Replace xxx with your subnet. Additionally, some campus subnets have a router with host number 174 rather than 254. If you are on one of these subnets, also replace 254 with 174 .

To make the script executable, at the Unix prompt, enter:

chmod 744 /etc/init.d/local

Enter the following to add a script that makes it the last thing to run when init is at run level 2:

ln -s /etc/init.d/local /etc/rc2.d/S99local

This should establish routing upon bootup. To start it without rebooting, enter:

/etc/init.d/local start

Note: You can use this local script to add instructions for starting or terminating any other daemon you want to take care of as part of bootup or shutdown procedures.
