Service Manual

Timers in Pre–configuration and Post–
configuration Scripts
To avoid the scripts executing for a long time or an infinitely running script, the Dell Networking OS has a
session timer of maximum one hour. After this time, the device reloads and you can go to the DHCP server
and correct the script errors.
You can manually control the maximum execution time of the script using the Dell Networking OS
proprietary utility, rstimer. This utility resets or reloads the device after the mentioned time in the rstimer.
The timer can be set as rstimer time.
The rstimer range is from 1 to 60 minutes. The default is 10 minutes.
You can set this utility in pre–configuration or post–configuration script and this timer is triggered only after
the line of execution of rstimer time. For example, if a script is running for 8 minutes and the next line of
execution is rstimer 4, the device reloads only after 12 minutes from the start of script execution.
