My traffic control script starts with: /sbin/tc qdisc del dev eth0 root >/dev/null 2>/dev/null Which deletes *all* classes and qdisc's etc for eth0, then the script re-adds things.. So I simply make a change to the tc entries in my script and re-execute it. At worst a user might be unthrottled for 1/100 of a second or less that it takes the script to execute.... Seems a heck of a lot easier than trying to figure out how to delete classes and recreate them etc... (not to mention having to keep track of the heirachy - eg deleting and readding in the correct order) Regards, Simon _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
