• After the script execution is successful, Dell Networking OS log displays:

Script execution returned Success.

• If the script returns a non-zero value (indicating a failure), the configuration file does not load in the
system. Debug it manually and reload the system with the corrected script. If the autoexec script fails,
the system syslog displays:
00:00:34: %STKUNIT1-M:CP %BMP-5-AUTOEXE_FAILURE: The AutoExec
Script execution returned Failure.
Timers in Pre–configuration and Post–configuration
Scripts
To avoid the scripts executing for a long time or an infinitely running script, 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.
Script Examples
The following are BMP script examples.
Auto-Execution Script – Normal Mode
Dell#show reload-type
Reload-Type : normal-reload [Next boot : normal-reload]
Dell#show file flash://autoexec
#! /usr/bin/tclsh
puts [ exec f10do "show version" ]
puts [ exec date ]
puts "this is Autoexec script"

Dell#reload
System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: no
Proceed with reload [confirm yes/no]: yes
