We can get a very basic script to run.

Hi Chris,

I Tested it and found that it is not the script that is failing. It is the filesystem that is not supporting the appending.

R2#show ip int br | append bootflash://test.txt

% Appending is not supported in this file system

So I tried to use an ftp server to export the data....Just like following and it works. There was just one problem that my ftp server was kind of slow so I had to add action x.y wait after every cli command to capture all the data and sometimes it wouldn't capture all of it.

Check if the platform supports -

R2#show ip int br | redirect bootflash://test.txt          <<          With this we will have to create multiple files it won't append and remove the previous data in the file

R2#show ip int br | tee /apend bootflash://test.txt

And you can use following show commands for verification -

show event manager history events

show event manager statistics policy

This applet will not work as it will timeout before it finishes.  You will need to at least config:

event timer cron cron-entry "01 13 * * *" maxrun 60

On top of that, you may need to configure:

event manager session cli username USER

If you are using command authorization, where USER is a username authorized to run all of these commands.
