Run a bash script on Cat9k or switches

[CiscoBrownBelt]

Can you run a Linux bash script on a Cat9k or any newer switch in general? After uploading it I guess to dir, how would you execute it? Basically where is best place to upload it then I guess go into linux shell to execute it?

 - You can do it on nexus (not on catalyst) : https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus9000/sw/7-x/programmability/guide/b_Cisco_Nexus_9000_Series_NX-OS_Programmability_Guide_7x/Bash.html

Looks like the guestshell enable command is supported as I was also able to turn IOx feature on.

I entered it but got 

SW1#guestshell enable
Interface will be selected if configured in app-hosting
Please wait for completion
% Error: No interface configuration for guestshell

Embedded Event Manager to upload and run a script? I'm sorry not sure I am tracking what you mean.
