Solved: EEM applet with timer

EugeneL · ‎04-12-2016

I would like to have eem applet to run say hourly and copy file ( something like below ),

I believe i may have an issue after action 1.0 as it results in the next line

as it would confirm destination file name and i would assume expect the enter possibly twice to verify the name and then overwrite the file

event manager applet TEST
event timer cron cron-entry "@hourly"
action 0.0 cli command "enable"
action 1.0 cli command "copy flash:dhcp.db stby-flash:dhcp.db"

Probably the easiest thing to do is:

action 0.5 cli command "delete /force stby-flash:dhcp.db"

If you pre-delete the destination file, you will not have this problem. However, this will work to interact with the prompts:

action 1.0 cli command "copy flash:dhcp.db stby-flash:dhcp.db" pattern "dhcp.db"

action 2.0 cli command "dhcp.db"

Thanks Joe,

How do i get by the confirmation prompt for copy

copy flash:dhcp.db stby-flash:dhcp.db
Destination filename [dhcp.db]?
Copy in progress...C
7181 bytes copied in 0.120 secs (59842 bytes/sec)

I don't believe

action 1.0 cli command "copy flash:dhcp.db stby-flash:dhcp.db" pattern "dhcp.db" will work
