#
# Script to setup a system's static routes based on the
# /etc/network/routes definitions.
#
# It tries to simplify network route management and make it easier
# to handle those as requested in bug #368228 ('Wish: Better Handling 
# of up/down route commands'). With this script routes do not have to be 
# introduced in /etc/network/interfaces (in 'up' and 'down' commands).
#
# This file includes a list of routes for different networks and follows
# the format:
# Network Netmask Gateway Interface
# 
# Example:
# 172.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 eth0
#
# Install this script in /etc/network/if-up.d/ (to setup the routes) and in 
# /etc/network/if-pre-down.d/ (if you want to remove the routes before
# deconfiguring the interface)
