2.4 show application
Use this command to see the scripts that are loaded into memory. Each script listed in the show
applications command also has an entry in the running-configuration.
Syntax:
show application [files]
Example: console#show application
OpEN application table contains three entries.
Name StartOnBoot AutoRestart CPU Sharing Max Memory
------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------
SupportAssist Yes Yes 0 0
hello No No 0 0
hiveagent Yes Yes 0 0
Optional parameter:
files shows all application process directory contents available for install
2.5 application start
Use this command to execute a Python script. The script must be installed into memory using the application
install command (explained above) before it can be started.
Syntax:
application start <application-name>
Example: console#application start hello
Application started.
console#
Hello World!
2.6 application stop
Use this command to stop a running Python script. This command does not remove the script from memory.
The script remains ready for manual execution at any time or automatic execution at bootup if configured.
Syntax:
application stop <application-name>
Example: console#application stop hello
Application stopped.
Hint: Output of a script goes only to the switch console screen. It may be easier to SSH/Telnet into the
switch to stop a running script if the console is continuously scrolling.
