Quagga bgpd reloading configuration
Quagga bgpd seems to correctly reload the configuration when sent a SIGHUP. However, it disconnects and reconnects to peers. Does this look like "route flapping" to the outside world, or is it "bad" for other reasons? If so, what can be done about it? I'd rather use configuration files than the telnet management interface to control bgpd.

Don't edit the configuration file directly.
telnet localhost 2605
Login, then type "enable", then "conf t" and then start writing your configuration. When you are done, type "end" and then "wr". Just like what you would do on a cisco.
Mkaaay, I will probably end up with a refinement to the following script:
( cat <<EOF password enable configure terminal ???? end EOF sleep 3 ) | telnet localhost bgpdRemember about "clear ip bgp X.X.X.X soft out" when changing route maps with as-path or prepend
