C613-50100-01 REV C Command Reference for x930 Series 405

AlliedWare Plus™ Operating System - Version 5.4.6-1.x

SCRIPTING COMMANDS

ACTIVATE

activate

Overview This command activates a script file.

Syntax

activate [background] <script>

Mode Privileged Exec

Usage When a script is activated, the privilege level is set to 1 enabling User Exec

commands to run in the script. If you need to run Privileged Exec commands in

your script you need to add an enable (Privileged Exec mode) command to the

start of your script. If you need to run Global Configuration commands in your

script you need to add a configure terminal command after the enable command

at the start of your script.

The activate command executes the script in a new shell. A terminal length shell

command, such as terminal length 0 may also be required to disable a delay that

would pause the display.

A script must be a text file with a filename extension of either . sh or . scp only for

the AlliedWare Plus™ CLI to activate the script file. The . sh filename extension

indicates the file is an ASH script, and the . scp filename extension indicates the file

is an AlliedWare Plus™ script.

Examples To activate a command script to run as a background process, use the command:

awplus# activate background test.scp

Commands

configure terminal

echo

enable (Privileged Exec mode)

wait

Parameter Description

background Activate a script to run in the background. A process that is running in

the background will operate as a separate task, and will not interrupt

foreground processing. Generally, we recommend running short,

interactive scripts in the foreground and longer scripts in the

background. The default is to run the script in the foreground.

consisting of commands documented in this software reference.

Note that you must use either a . scp or a . sh filename extension for a

valid script text file, as described below in the usage section for this

command.
