Usage
Information
To run more than one script at the same time, 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 runs. 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 runs 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.
