Hello CheckMates!
Could you provide me a hint on how to use args parameter in API (v1.1) call run-script to pass arguments to an OS command or script ? Using args with mgmt._cli, postman, SCconsole returns a failed task.
e. g. :
mgmt._cli -r true -f json run-script script-name "ping" script "ping" args " -c1 172.17.xxx.2" targets.1 "mgmt._server_itself"
returns:
"mgmt._server_itself - ping" failed (100%)
{
<omitted for brevity>
"task-id" : "e1f9a669-2cf8-4248-bee7-437902810e9b",
"task-name" : "mgmt._server_itself - ping",
"status" : "failed",
<omitted>
"statusCode" : "failed",
"statusDescription" : "Usage: ping [-LRUbdfnqrvVaA] [-c count] [-i interval] [-w deadline], [-p pattern] [-s packetsize] [-t ttl] [-I interface or address
as if arguments in args string value are not passed to bash. Various arguments and escape sequences tried, same result.
Passing all arguments in script value works:
mgmt._cli -r true -f json run-script script-name "ping" script "ping -c1 172.17.xxx.2" targets.1 "mgmt._server_itself"
returns:
"mgmt._server_itself - ping" succeeded (100%)
{
<omitted>
"task-id" : "0751191e-9fed-4bcf-851f-b97645dcea4c",
"task-name" : "mgmt_server_itself - ping",
"status" : "succeeded",
<omitted>
"statusCode" : "succeeded",
"statusDescription" : "PING 172.17.xxx.2 (172.17.xxx.2) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 172.17.xx.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=0.110 ms, --- 172.17.xxx.2

Screened api.elg, cpm.elg, fwm.elg for clues - didn't understand how script string and args string are passed to bash.

Thank you for your time,
