CLISH Commands in Expert Mode easier

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Clish commands can only be used in expert mode with the following command for example 'clish -c "show route"'. To make this a bit easier, I wrote a simple script to simplify that.

Now you can use the new command "c" to execute clish commands. You only have to write the c before each clish command in expert mode.

For example, if you want to execute the clish command "show route", all you have to do is type the followingin expert mode:

# c show route

To install the small bash script you only have to copy and paste the following three lines in expert mode:

echo "echo \$@ > /var/log/clish.txt" > /bin/c
echo "clish -f /var/log/clish.txt" >> /bin/c
chmod 770 /bin/c

Now you have the new  "c" command.

Hi https://community.checkpoint.com/people/2614aef2-c5d1-3f73-bbbd-45c59b9e2728,

This is a great and simple idea.

Nice

nice hack

I also find the reverse idea good to execute expert mode commands in clish. Unfortunately I can't do that:-)

That's the way I see it:

> e netstat -rn

Now the expert mode command is executed in the clish. Can you implement this?

I also know that the "dynamic clish" is planned. But here the commands different from the expert mode syntax and we have to learn everything new.

I want an "e" in the clish.

Just one thing: your default shell needs to be /bin/bash. If you default log in with clish, go to expert and want to use this trick, you get a "configuration lock" message and cannot execute the command.

I would love that "e" option too...

Dear Heiko Ankenbrand Thanks, it's working fine.

and Marcel Wildenberg‌ thanks for the trick. 

The below screenshot is showing that when I type any command like c show route  (as per the script )

Big Ouch! See #5: https://community.checkpoint.com/message/8192-check-point-configuration-mistakes-top-10 

[Marcel_Wildenbe]

Sharp.

I am not saying /bin/bash should be your default, the clish as default is blocking the trick.

Kudos on the "SCP only" shell.

Hi CHINMAYA 

yes, it is a small script.

My clish is very much restricted without a tab key  - but nice idea!

[Caytana_Dewente]

Hi ,

Nice small script.

[Ferhat_Aslan]

Yes an "e" in the clish!

[Yusuf_Kilic]

Very helpful script!

Hi Heko,

I could also write as an oneliner.

Any interest?

THX!

Yes, this is the better path /usr/local/bin/
