Why you use restart? Use a working config, start bird, made your changes and do an birdc configure or bird -p I sounds that your configuration is wrong has syntax error or similar and prevent bird form restarting. > I deleted bird.conf and restaured default bird.conf the issue was solved, by > editing again bird.conf and restarting the service, bird.ctl is droped again. DO the same again, but don't restart bird, use "birdc configure" or "bird -p" for test your bird.conf.
