Having trouble using EEM and TCL 'after' command

[oren.hecht]

Hi,

I am using EEM to trigger the following commands on a set event:

action 1 cli command "enable"
action 2 cli command "tclsh flash:mytcl.tcl"

In my tcl script I am using the command 'after' to sleep for a specific time.

What I notice is that the script doesn't work consistently. Say I want to wait for 10 iterations and in each iteration sleep, sometimes it only does the first iteration, sometimes 2 and sometime 3 (3 was the max I got).

When I run the script via cli

R1#tclsh flash:mytcl.tcl

It works fine every time.

When I removed the 'after' command it completed the iterations fine.

Is there a different command I can use?

I am running this on a 7200 with  IOS 12.4(20)T.

Thanks,

Oren.

After translating my script to proper EEM and having the same issue, I found out it was due to the maxrun setting that defaults to 20 seconds.

I configured it to be more, and it all works now.
