no Route command on A/UX 3
DStone
"/usr/etc/route add default 192.168.4.1 1" to my /etc/rc. But that
did not work. Alas, it seems that there is no "route" command on my
system. I cannot find it on any of the disks that I have. Any ideas on
how I can get "route"? I am running A/UX 3.1 on a WGS95.
Thanks,

3.1.1).
Look if /usr/etc/route does really exist. I'm not sure if it
works from rc - that might be called too early. Instead, try inserting
the route commands into /etc/inittab, e.g. insert
net?:2:once:/etc/rc.route # define routes
where the "?" is a single letter or digit, e.g. 6, or 7, and define
the route commands in the said /etc/rc.route file (don't forget the
'#!/bin/sh' as the first line and the executive bits).
Let us know if it works

There is no /usr/etc/route. I searched for route using the Finder's
Find; would using find under Command Shell be any different?

Yes, I think so.
if you enter the command
ls -l /usr/etc/route
you should get something like
-rwx------ 1 root root 49356 Mar 24 1993 /usr/etc/route
(the date may differ, though).

no go. I cannot find "route".
I would assume that it should be part of the basic A/UX install.
Perhaps I should re-install the whole system? Is there somewhere that
I can get that file?

It may be that this command has been introduced by the update to 3.1.1.
As I trashed the old stuff (I only retained 3.1.1), I am not sure,
though.

I misstated in my first post. I am running 3.1.1.

There should be a file named FILES in the root directory (/) which
contains the path names of all files that belong to the
3.1.1 distribution. looking for "route" there results in:
---snip---
/etc/in.routed binary executable for routed(1M) - network routing
daemon
/mac/lib/cmdo/r/route Commando dialog source script for the route
command
/usr/catman/a_man/man1/route.1m.Z formatted manual entry for
route(1M)
/usr/catman/a_man/man1/routed.1m.Z formatted manual entry for
routed(1M)
/usr/etc/route binary executable for route(1M) - manually manipulate
the routing tables
/usr/include/net/route.h C header file pertaining to network
routing table structure (intro (4))
/usr/include/netinet/ip_mroute.h C header file pertaining to
definitions for kernel part of Distance-Vector Multicast Routing
Protocol
/usr/include/protocols/routed.h C header file pertaining to Routeing
Information Protocol

If you don't have these, I guess your installation is not OK.

Thanks for the tip. "Route" is listed per your example, but the file
is not present on my system. There is not even /usr/etc
Thanks for the help, I will reinstall.

access to another install medium, however, would it be possible to
simply drop the "route" command in place if I were to acquire it,
gzipped perhaps? Would someone be willing to gzip and email "route"
to me?
