Exactly what UNIX or Linux are you using?
I am guessing you want to take the NIC offline, nothing more.
This seems to be a rather "overkill" approach. What are you trying to accomplish?
In other words this seems a really odd approach. There may be something much simpler and probably safer to implement.

Hi everyone,
I've always used the 'route get hostname/ip' function in Solaris to test whether routing is setup correctly for particular hosts.
The 'get' switch doesn't seem to be available for Red Hat. Can anyone offer a suitable alternative?
Many thanks.

GETTABLE(8) System Manager's Manual GETTABLE(8)
NAME
gettable - get NIC format host tables from a host
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/gettable [ -v ] host [ outfile ]
DESCRIPTION
Gettable is a simple program used to obtain the NIC standard host tables from a ``nicname'' server. The indicated host is queried for the
tables. The tables, if retrieved, are placed in the file outfile or by default, hosts.txt.
The -v option will get just the version number instead of the complete host table and put the output in the file outfile or by default,
hosts.ver.
Gettable operates by opening a TCP connection to the port indicated in the service specification for ``nicname''. A request is then made
for ``ALL'' names and the resultant information is placed in the output file.
Gettable is best used in conjunction with the htable(8) program which converts the NIC standard file format to that used by the network
library lookup routines.
SEE ALSO
intro(3N), htable(8), named(8)
BUGS
If the name-domain system provided network name mapping well as host name mapping, gettable would no longer be needed.
