...

If you want to run multiple CLI commands from a script that is also running other Linux

commands, you could add the multiple CLI commands as shown in the following example:

#!/bin/bash

...

/usr/bin/cli <<EOF

set network interface mode failover

set network hostname frutabaga

commit

EOF

You could then make the script executable and execute it on the command line, as shown in

the following example:

root@MergePoint:~$ chmod 777 scriptname2

root@MergePoint:~$ ./scriptname2

Example plain text file

You can put one or more commands in a plain text file without invoking any shell as shown in

the following example.

set network interface mode failover

Then you can invoke the CLI command with the -f <file> option to execute the command(s)

from the file, as shown in the following example.

root@MergePoint:~$ cli -f filename
