Scripts in SnapCLI Scripts in SnapCLI Administrative tasks can be automated with shell scripts that call SnapCLI commands.

Avoid using Windows clients to create or edit scripts. • Place the script in a share that will never be part of a delete script. 2 Log in to the SnapCLI (see Logging into SnapCLI for instructions). 3 Type osshell to get a bash prompt. 4 At the prompt, make sure the script is executable by typing the following and pressing Enter: chmod +x/shares/[sharename]/[scriptname] where sharename is the name of the share where you put the script and scriptname is the name of the script. 5 To run the script, type the path again, and press Enter: /shares/[sharename]/[scriptname] Appendix B Command Line Interface 177
