Batch Script Syntax

The syntax for Batch Scripts is exactly the same as the commands that can be typed at the CLI,
with the additions described in this section.
The sleep command suspends execution of the script (puts it to 'sleep') for the specified number
of seconds. Syntax:
sleep <value>
The while command allows a loop containing CLI commands to be executed. Syntax:
while {<Boolean expression>} {
CLI command 1
CLI command 2
...
CLI command n
}
Note: The closing left brace '}' must be on a line without any other characters. To
support a while command, the set command, variables, and secondary commands are
also supported.

Interface Script Syntax

This section describes the abbreviated scripting syntax for Interface Scripts. This limited syntax
was created to prevent the creation of scripts containing potentially harmful commands. Script
commands are divided into three groups: Primary, Secondary and Control Flow. Primary
commands provide the basic functionality of a script and are generally the first element on a line of
a script, as in:
send_user "Password:"
Secondary commands provide support for the primary commands and are generally not useful by
themselves. For example, the expr command can be used to generate a value for a set
command.
set <my_var> [expr 1 + 1]
Control Flow commands allow conditional execution of other commands based on the results
of the evaluation of a Boolean expression.
