Commenting Scripts

Use the pound sign (#) to add comments in a script file. The pound

sign must be the first character in the line; the CLI ignores everything

after the pound sign in that line. The following lines are valid:

Root> #Change port 3 to an E_Port<CR>

Root> config port<CR>

config.port> ##################<CR>

config.port> ## Begin Script ##<CR>

config.port> ##################<CR>

The pound sign cannot be used after any other characters (a

command, for example) to start a comment. The following is an

invalid script line:

Root> maint system beacon true # Turn on beaconing<CR>

To correct the previous script line, move the comment either before or

after the line with the command.

Both the following examples are valid:

Root> # Turn on beaconing<CR>

Root> maint system beacon true<CR>

Root> # Turn on beaconing<CR>

NOTE: Limit comments to 200 characters per line. Comments of over 200

characters in length may cause unpredictable system behavior.
