Lee,
Ok in that case you can start ampr-ripd with the parameter: -s It will write your encap file to /var/lib/ampr-ripd/encap.txt whenever it changes (you may need to mkdir /var/lib/ampr-ripd one time) and you can copy it to wherever you want, and also when ampr-ripd starts it automatically reads this file so you do not need to wait 5 minutes to receive the RIP before you have the routes.
It works fine for me. Study the ampr-ripd parameters, it has lots of interesting options.

I'm already receiving the RIP broadcasts and using those routes. I like to be able to fall back to the text file in the event that I stop receiving the broadcasts, which has happened in the past.
Also, in this case, the application I'm using has a new version of code that addresses an issue with the routes that skip the last octet if it's zero. I simply want to test the new version of the software with a fresh copy of the text file.

I would second Rob’s suggestion - by far the best option - you receive the routes the moment anything changes rather than having to download them manually or on a cron script. Chris - G1FEF — ARDC Administrator Web: https://www.ardc.net <https://www.ardc.net>
