CSS scripting problem

brok3n — Thu, 15 Dec 2005 15:58:02 GMT

I have a css11503 running 7.30.0.05 and I am trying to install a custom script (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps789/products_tech_note09186a00801e1dfb.shtml)

I login to the CSS, execute: script record http-test <enter>

However, when I paste in the script and it gets to the initial arg length checking:

"if ${$ARGS}[#] "NEQ" "3"

It errors out and says

%% Error undefined variable.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

You have one $ sign in excess.

The correct line should be

if ${ARGS}[#]

I mistyped in my original post -- i entered:

if ${ARGS}[#]

and I get

%% Error undefined variable

Thanks,

try to load the script file via ftp instead of entering it line by line.

I have the same problem. It prompts an error in some lines though the "show script" seems to be ok. I'm worry about that the script won't work in production and I can test it.

I downloaded other similar scripts via FTP but FTP fails for this one, the CSS is no able to download the script from the FTP server.

Also I have downloaded via FTP similar scripts that starts with the same line (if ${ARGS}[#] "NEQ" "2".

My version is sg0820501. I know that the scripts configuration is ok cause I have it configured in other CSS.
