Scripts
The SLC unit supports three types of scripts:
Interface Scripts which use a subset of the Expect/Tcl scripting language to perform pattern
detection and action generation on Device Port output.
Batch Scripts which are a series of CLI commands.
Custom Scripts are Expect, Tcl or Python scripts which use most of the Expect/Tcl/Python
scripting language, can be run against the CLI or a Device Port, and can be scheduled to run
at periodic intervals, with the results from each run saved to a file in a repository. Up to 10
Custom Scripts can be created. Each Custom Script run is an operation, and the results from
each operation can be viewed. Up to 50 script result files will be saved Locally in the SLC
storage. Once this maximum is reached and new result files are generated, the oldest result
files will automatically be deleted to accommodate the new result files.
A user can create scripts at the web, view scripts at the web and the CLI, and utilize (run) scripts at
the CLI. For a description of the syntax allowed in the various types of scripts, see Batch Script
Syntax, Interface Script Syntax and Custom Script Syntax.
Escape Sequence The escape character used to get the attention of the SSH or Telnet client. It is
optional, and if not specified, Telnet and SSH use their default escape character.
For Telnet, the escape character is either a single character or a two-character
sequence consisting of '^' followed by one character. If the second character is '?',
the DEL character is selected. Otherwise, the second character is converted to a
control character and used as the escape character.
For SSH, the escape character is a single character.
