Commenting Scripts

The pound sign (#) can be used to add comments in a script file. The pound sign must
be the first character in the line; the CLI ignores everything after the pound sign in that
line. The following lines are valid:
Root> #Change port 3 to an E_Port<CR>
Root> config port<CR>
config.port> ##################<CR>
config.port> ## Begin Script ##<CR>
config.port> ##################<CR>
The pound sign cannot be used after any other characters (a command, for example) to
start a comment. The following is an invalid script line:
Root> maint system beacon true # Turn on beaconing<CR>
To correct the previous script line, move the comment either before or after the line
with the command. For example, the following examples are both valid:
Root> # Turn on beaconing<CR>
Root> maint system beacon true<CR>
or
Root> maint system beacon true<CR>
Root> # Turn on beaconing<CR>
NOTE: Comments of over 200 characters in length may cause unpredictable system behavior.
Limit comments to 200 characters per line.
