FYI: this block of lines:

> grep -v '^#' /etc/sysconfig/defaultroute ¦ \
> while read intrfc ipaddr; do

should produce in a log or at the console:
adding defaultroute: 192.168.0.1.???....

???.... maybe nothing

so if you are having problems with that gateway not being present,
check your logs (/var/logs/* ?)

If that line fails (to assign the default gateway) it will be because
the input info is invalid in some way

if you want to see exactly what is being set, add the following be the
"route" line:
>        echo route add default $intrfc gw $ipaddr

If you want to see exactly what is happening whe the gateway is being
set, chage the route line (not recommended):
>        route add default $intrfc gw $ipaddr

> /dev/null 2>&1 means:
output standard console text to nowhere (/dev/null) AND redirect error
output to console

so you should see something in the logs/console if there was an error
