Re: bug or feature?



Hi Andy,

There is some use for deleting a corrupted <startup>, but minor.
If the agent SW is buggy, such that *it* is responsible for the
<startup> corruption, then <copy-config> may not work to fix it.
Perhaps something in the <startup> is causing the bug to show up,
or even cause a reboot.

Perhaps in some implementation, deleting the <startup> could allow
the agent to boot 'far enough' to reload a previous SW image, and
then recover the config to <running> somehow.

Practically, what would it mean to delete the <startup> configuration? To overwrite it with all zeros? Or do we require that the <startup> configuration include some type of flag indicating whether it is there or not?
