run bash script using gaia_api

[Emanuel_Negreti]

Hi all

I'm trying to run a bash script via gaia_api but it doesn´t work

I'm using postman to do the POST

            "task-name": "/run-script",

            "time-spent-in-queue": "0.00"

        }

    ]

}

--------------test.sh------------------------------------------------------

[test.sh]

#/bin/bash
date >> va.txt

-rwxrwxrwx 1 admin root 26 Jun 8 17:21 test.sh

This script works if is executed via CLI

It's an example, the real script is more complex

-------------------------GAIA API Reference example---------------------

Check Point - GAIA API reference

POST {server}/v1.6/run-script
Content-Type: application/json
X-chkp-sid: {{session}}

{
"script": "date > /home/admin/run_script_example;echo Done"
}

 This example works fine

GAIA R81.10 MGMT

Your output file should have an absolute path.
I suspect your actual script may have other similar issues that result from the script running via run-script versus the CLI environment.

Sharing the actual script used versus a sample might help.
