Rename FRR daemon restart op-mode commands
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The current command to restart any of the FRR processes is:

[email protected]:~$ restart frr
Possible completions:
  <Enter>       Execute the current command
  bfdd          Restart Bidirectional Forwarding Detection daemon
  bgpd          Restart Border Gateway Protocol daemon
  ospf6d        Restart OSPFv3 daemon
  ospfd         Restart OSPFv2 daemon
  ripd          Restart Routing Information Protocol daemon
  ripngd        Restart RIPng daemon
  staticd       Restart Static Route daemon
  zebra         Restart IP routing manager daemon

From a real-life example:

Two engineers needed 5 minutes to figure its under frr ;) thats why I would line to drop the frr level.

Its less intuitive to have restart frr ospfd or restart frr bgpd compared to restart ospf and restart bgp - we have the same for restart ssh or restart snmp and not restart openssh sshd - we should drop the FRR product name - maybe it will be another routing engine in another release (edited)

I would also drop the d (daemon) suffix so the commands align with the VyOS CLI, else there would a missunderstanding from ospf6d to ospfv3.

As CLI changes are now still fairly easy before launch of VyOS 1.3.0-epa1 I'd implement this in equuleus branch first and then cherry-pick to current
