Phew, this has already been a rubbish script.

One option could have been using “printf -v” to get rid of the eval call.

Otherwise, I fail to see the improvement here? It is just a different way to write this?!

Since you have introduced new functions to check whether a certain zone is available, why no just call those functions like this:

  if network_has_BLUE; then
    /etc/init.d/networking/local BLUE start
  fi
