Auto repeat of CLI commands(160023 259531)

Occasionally there is a need to repeatedly run a diagnose command over a long period of time (like checking CPU or memory usage, or checking proxy health), Previously, this could only be done with external console connections. Now this can be done in a script using the interval and repeat commands.

 

Scripts can be uploaded as a file from the CLI or GUI. To upload scripts from the GUI go to System > Advanced

> Configuration Scripts and upload and run the script.

To configure the schedule and scripts, use the following syntax:

config system auto-script edit <ScriptName>

set interval set repeat set script

end end

interval the interval time in seconds between instances of the script running.

repeat the number of times to repeat the running of the script. The value 0 is used to set an infinite number of repetitions.

start select manual to start the script manually or auto to start the script automatically

script the contents of the script.

This feature may not be available on all models as a hard drive is necessary to make use of it.

config system proxy-arp edit 1

set interface internal set ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

set end-ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx next

end
