Hi community ,

I hope you are doing great.After spending a good time reading and doing some troubleshooting I have decided to ask for some same.I setup guestshell in order to run python using eem. I am getting the following error :

router-lab#more bootflash:/guest-share/script.txt

%Error opening bootflash:/guest-share/script.txt (No such file or directory)

I thought the script was not the problem and instead was the following :

action 1.1 cli command "guestshell run python3 script.py Loopback99"

but after reading this post : https://github.com/krishna426426/Module-1-Guestshell

I changed the action 1.1 to action 1.1 cli command "guestshell run python3 script.py Loopback99" and I was getting the same error .

I discovered that the issue was related to the cli library :

[guestshell@guestshell ~]$ python3 -c "import cli"
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

I tried what I found in the folliwing post but not success :
