Let us take the example of the command "route add -net default netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 172.26.64.1" which adds the default route to the PC. I had a problem of my default route being deleted when ever i run my usual automation script as a result of which the PC was not reachable from my automation server. To resolve this issue we wrote a simple shell script that will indefinitely add route until the process is stopped. I would trigger this script when ever i had to run my automation script
Note: Name this file as routeAddScript.sh and run it with the command ./routeAddScript.sh
#!/bin/sh
while [ 1 ]; do
route add -net default netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 172.26.64.1
# echo "Ran route command"
sleep 1
done
exit 0
