Information
To run more than one scripts at the same time, you can use the script (run) command
multiple times; for example:
Dell(conf)#script username root /usr/pkg/scripts/sample_scripts/
DisplayAlarms.py
Dell(conf)#script username root /usr/pkg/bin/python /usr/pkg/scripts/
VSNAgent/Xen/hpAgtMain.py
When you run a script from the Dell Networking OS CLI with the script (run)
command, you can specify an optional user name to apply the read-write privileges
assigned to the user name when the script is run. To configure the username and
password, use the username command. If you do not specify a user name with the
script (run) command, the script is run with the privileges of the current user.
For information about how to run a script directly from a UNIX shell, refer to
Running a Script from the UNIX Shell.
To stop a running script, use the
no script script-name command
To display the scripts that are currently running, including the scripts you have
stopped, use the show running-config | grep command.
