Using the System-Defined Timestamp Variable

This example uses $(TIMESTAMP) when redirecting show command output to a file:
switch# show running-config > rcfg.$(TIMESTAMP)
Preparing to copy....done
switch# dir

Running a Command Script

This example displays the CLI commands specified in the script file:
switch# show file testfile
configure terminal
interface ethernet 2/1
no shutdown
end
show interface ethernet 2/1
This example displays the run-script command execution output:
switch# run-script testfile
`configure terminal`
`interface ethernet 2/1`
`no shutdown`
`end`
`show interface ethernet 2/1 `
Ethernet2/1 is down (Link not connected)
