Scripting for Cisco MDS

[SAK_Mohan]

Though I know writing Scripts for Cisco MDs switches (as I don't rely on FM/DM GUI), I am wondering how to include comments in a script for better readability. Would appreciate if anyone could point me to the direction where it is been documented or how to do it.

Thanks

With regards to your questions:

1- No, you must create the script externally to the MDS as specified in the doc listed below.

You can however create a cron job on a host and login to the MDS via SSH providing Passwordless access to run a script. Let me know if this is something you would like to pursue.

2- Yes, this is a feature in version 2.0(1b) which was released recently to Cisco.com, look under "Command Scheduler" in the following link.

"... how to include comments in a script for better readability." This question was not answered. Aside from using "!", is there a REM or other comment that does not generate an error message during script execution? The documentation does not provide a solution.

thx...
