[ixpmanager] FATAL Error in IRRDB Prefix Update

[Barry O'Donovan]

Hi Shahab,

I'm not sure what we can do here. As Nick has mentioned a couple of 
times, from what you are providing, this does not look like an issue 
with IXP Manager.

Also, this runs fine for me on the command line:

bgpq3 -6 -S 'RIPE' -l pl -j -m 48 'as-af81net'


I can't imagine playing with kernel net parameters is required here either.

At this point here:

https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/blob/master/app/Utils/Bgpq3.php#L168

you could add a line that says:

echo "$cmd\n";

and capture the bgpq3 commands as they are run by IXP Manager.

You could then put these into a script and see if they run separately 
without issue outside of IXP Manager.

  - Barry
