topic Policy install script in Scripts https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Scripts/Policy-install-script/m-p/271474#M1499 Hey guys, Wondering if someone is willing to test this script, it essentially does same thing as mgmt_cli install policy command, but it does let you choose package and also gateway you wish to install it to. My lab example: [Expert@CP-MANAGEMENT:0]# cd /var/log/scripts/ [Expert@CP-MANAGEMENT:0]# chmod 777 * [Expert@CP-MANAGEMENT:0]# dos2unix * dos2unix: converting file cp_install_policy.sh to Unix format ...
