Make restconf calls with curl
olof@vandal> curl -G http://127.0.0.1/restconf/data/interfaces
[
{
"interfaces": {
"interface":[
{
"name": "eth0",
"type": "eth",
"enabled": "true",
"name": "eth9",
"type": "eth",
"enabled": "true"
}
]
}
}
]
olof@vandal> curl -G http://127.0.0.1/restconf/data/interfaces/interface/name=eth9/type
[
{
"type": "eth"
}
]
curl -sX POST -d '{"interfaces":{"interface":{"name":"eth1","type":"eth","enabled":"true"}}}' http://localhost/restconf/data

sudo su -c "/www-data/clixon_restconf -Df /usr/local/etc/routing.xml" -s /bin/sh www-data
Look at syslog:
tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep clixon_restconf
