CLI Script File Downloading and Maintenance.

A CLI Script File may be downloaded in the same manner as any other type of file, 
like executable or configuration file, using system download tftp command (please 
refer to “Downloading over TFTP” on page 227). Note that during download the 
Script File Header is converted into internal representation.
After being downloaded, the Script File may be manipulated as a file of any other 
kind - it may be copied, deleted or uploaded. 

Running a CLI Script

To run a CLI script on a single module, perform the following steps:
1

Download the script file to the file system of this module, as described above. 
Make sure that the download succeeded.

A file download may fail due to the lack of contiguous memory in the Avaya 

M770 ATM switch file system or due to there being more than 15 files (the 
maximum allowed) in the flash memory file system.

2

You may examine contents of the script file using the 

script dump

 command 

(not mandatory but recommended). This command will just dump the script 
file to the console/Telnet window.

3

Then actually run the script using the 

script run

 command

Command:

M15-155s8:/> script dump <script-file-name>

Parameters:

<script file 

name>

The name of the script file in the Flash File System as it appears 
in the output of the

 /flash dir

 command.

Example:

M15-155s8:/>script dump script.txt

Command:

M15-155s8:/> script run <script-file-name> [log|console] 

[delay=<delay-value>]

Parameters:

<script file 

name>

The name of the script file in the Flash File System 
as it appears in the output of the
