"More" command not executing in EEM

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello group !

I have written a very simple EEM script:

event manager applet Z
event none
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 2.0 cli command "more flash:ip.txt | inc lo"

When I run the script, there is no output. When I type the 'more' command at the command prompt, the content of the file is displayed as expected. It is almost like EEM ignores 'more'. Is that a 'flaw' in EEM, or is there a workaround ?

Hi Georg,

Try using the file commands to read in and print the file.

event manager applet test1
 event none
 action 010 file open myfile bootflash:runningconfig r
 action 013 file read myfile var
 action 020 puts "$var"
 action 030 file close myfile

Hello Dan,

that works. Thanks a lot !

I guess 'more' is somehow not supported in EEM...

I needed this actually for another EEM script that has been asked by one of the users here (I referred to your input)...
