I've created some command files to display and start the gateways on the
HP-3000 (see below).  The NETCONTROL UPDATE command as displayed below does
not work, at least on 5.5 PP6.  We are having problems with IP Redirects
from the routers creating bogus gateways.  The command to reset the Gateways
back to the configured gateways is

netcontrol update=internet;net=(your NI name)

The above command must be issued for each NI that has a gateway configured.

Below is the GATEUP command set up for the operators.

SETVAR PRMPT1 "!INV Please check that all gateways are ACTIVE [cr]!off "
SETVAR PRMPT2 "!IBL IF all gateways are not ACTIVE call Network Command
NOW!!"
INPUT ASK_YN;PROMPT="!PRMPT1";WAIT=60
 XEQ NETTOOL.NET.SYS 'NAMEADDR;ROUTING;GATELIST;QUIT' > NETLIST
 PRINT NETLIST;START=20
 ECHO !IBL Attempting to start all gateways !off
 ECHO  NAMEADDR;ROUTING > NETTLINE
 ECHO GATEUP 206.213.204.1 >> NETTLINE
 ECHO GATEUP 206.213.204.4 >> NETTLINE
 ECHO GATEUP ;QUIT   >> NETTLINE
 XEQ NETTOOL.NET.SYS < NETTLINE > $NULL
 XEQ NETTOOL.NET.SYS 'NAMEADDR;ROUTING;GATELIST;QUIT' > NETLIST
 PRINT NETLIST;START=20
INPUT ASK_YN;PROMPT="!PRMPT2"
DELETEVAR PRMPT#

                You may also use:
                netcontrol link=<YOURNMMGRLINKNAME>;update=internet
