From 5a35f4d30e5c16bd85e811176cffa86b721112b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuriy Andamasov Date: Sat, 2 May 2026 18:59:58 +0300 Subject: refactor(swap): rename imported .md files to md- prefix for swap mechanism MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Restore the canary file naming convention that swap_sources.py expects: the imported MyST pages now live as docs//md-.md alongside the existing docs//.rst, so swap_sources.py --swap can rename them into place at build time. - 254 .md files renamed (every page with a matching .rst counterpart) - 2 MyST-only pages left at their final names (no .rst exists, no swap needed): docs/copyright.md, docs/automation/terraform/terraformvyos.md All 114 stems listed in docs/_swap.txt now have a corresponding md-.md source file ready to swap in. 🤖 Generated by [robots](https://vyos.io) --- docs/automation/md-command-scripting.md | 225 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 225 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/automation/md-command-scripting.md (limited to 'docs/automation/md-command-scripting.md') diff --git a/docs/automation/md-command-scripting.md b/docs/automation/md-command-scripting.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..7e736152 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/automation/md-command-scripting.md @@ -0,0 +1,225 @@ +--- +lastproofread: '2026-03-16' +--- + +(command-scripting)= + +# Command scripting + +VyOS supports executing configuration and operational commands non-interactively +from shell scripts. + +To include VyOS-specific functions and aliases, source the +`/opt/vyatta/etc/functions/script-template` file at the beginning of your +script. + +```none +#!/bin/vbash +source /opt/vyatta/etc/functions/script-template +exit +``` + + +## Script execute permissions + +Simply placing script files in `/config/scripts/` does not mean the system +can execute them. + +To make your scripts executable, grant them **execute permissions**.
