Hi,

Thank you very for your reply. But what i needed is by programing.because our programs need the status of interfaces,so it must call some apa function to do this ,now which function is ,I really don't know .Can anybody tell me ?

---<-----
#! /bin/ksh
for PPA in $(lanscan |egrep -v "^Hardware|^Path" |awk '{print $3}')
do
printf " lan$PPA: "
lanadmin -x $PPA 2>/dev/null | \
while read line
do
printf "$line "
done
printf "\n"
done
