R81.10 - ifconfig unable to print a large number of interfaces.

Hi,

Just thought I would bring this little nugget to the community.

We are running R81.10 with JHFA45 on VSX. We have a  number of VS's that have a large number of logical interface i.e. more then 200!

When running 'ifconfig -a' on the CLI for a specific VS we experienced the below error:
# ifconfig -a
/bin/cp-ifconfig.sh: line 179: /bin/echo: Argument list too long

Raised a TAC case and the following solution was provided.

- backup /usr/bin/cp-ifconfig.sh
- vi /usr/bin/cp-ifconfig.sh and then find 'function print'
   See below:
   function print_output(){
             /bin/echo -e "$script_output"
   }
- replace the above with:
   function print_output(){
    while [[ $script_output ]]; do
                         if [[ $script_output = *'\n'* ]]; then
                                                   line=${script_output%%'\n'*}
                                                   rest=${script_output#*'\n'}
                         else
                                                   line=$script_output
                                                   rest=''
                         fi
                         /bin/echo -e "$line"
                         script_output=$rest
                         done
    }
- save the file and then the issue should be resolved.

I've requested this resolution is integrated into a jumbo take.  The fix id related to this is : PRJ-40034.  

- Thanks TAC!
