How to run clish commands via API 'run-script'?

Bowman_Klinkenb — Fri, 21 Jul 2017 17:16:44 GMT

I'm learning how to correctly use the 'run-script' API call, in addition to using the cpauto 'run_script' wrapper. I've had success with sending simple one-line bash commands per the documented example, but haven't yet figured out the best way to pass in multiline or clish commands to run-script. Does anyone have working examples to share? Thanks!

I'm using these 2 API's

1. put-file : Check Point - Management API reference

2. run-script Check Point - Management API reference

That makes sense, thanks. I'm assuming you are pushing out a shell script via 'put-file' and then executing it with 'run-script'? How do you manage cleanup of the scripts after? Seems like a good idea, and I'll check into that more!

yes, I'm pushing out a shell script via 'put-file' and then executing it with 'run-script'.

How do you manage cleanup of the scripts after? run-script and the command to delete the file 'rm <filename>'
