Lan 'operation status'

Mark Jones_1 — Tue, 08 Feb 2005 10:35:45 GMT

Is it possible to find out the operation status of a lan card WITHOUT using the menu within lanadmin? Ideally from the command line so that the status could be checked within a script, for example.

Many thanks in advance.

echo "whatever commands you use in lanadmin" | lanadmin

If you just want the status you could do something like this:
root /root # lanadmin -g 5 | grep "Operation Status"
Operation Status (value) = up(1)

ppa 5 is my lan card that is being used.

Ah yes, the man page for lanadmin didn't make it very clear. lanadmin -g it is.
Thanks!
