I am trying to automate some process and need to get a text file from a gateway on the management station. Is there a way to do it using the established trust? Tried to use run-script to cat the file, but output is garbled text. Thanks.

Assuming SIC is already established, yes.

Thanks Tim. That is a great script. I will look into it to see if it can solve my problem.

Depending on the request, the response will be returned with base64 encoding. You would need to parse the response from the gateway and then decode it.

For example - Using mgmt_cli on the Manager and running ifconfig on the gateway and filtering for the task details:

# mgmt_cli -r true run-script script-name test2 script "ifconfig eth1" targets gw01 -f json | jq -r '.tasks[]|."task-details"[]|.responseMessage'| base64 -d

It provides the following data:

---------------------------------------------
Time: [15:02:13] 9/12/2019

"gw01 - test2" succeeded (100%)

Thanks. That should work too. However, from Tim's solution I found this command "cprid_util". It should do exact what I need. You can run cprid_util --help for more information.
