3.3.6 Batch-processing of CLI Commands
You can use the CLI to batch-process commands to be executed for configuring
and monitoring 4Motion.
1 Ensure that the text file comprising the commands to be batch processed is
present on the TFTP server to be used for downloading the batch file.
2 Run the following command to download the text file and initiate
batch-processing of commands specified in this file:
npu# batch-run tftp://<ip-address>/<file name>
After you execute this command, the file is downloaded from the TFTP server, and
the commands in the file are executed sequentially. After batch-processing of all
commands in this file is complete, the downloaded file is deleted from the 4Motion
system.
The following is a sample text file that contains a list of commands to be
batch-processed:
