14.1 Overview

Configuration files define the NWA/WAC's settings. Shell scripts are files of commands that you can
store on the NWA/WAC and run when you need them. You can apply a configuration file or run a
shell script without the NWA/WAC restarting. You can store multiple configuration files and shell
script files on the NWA/WAC. You can edit configuration files or shell scripts in a text editor and
upload them to the NWA/WAC. Configuration files use a .conf extension and shell scripts use a .zysh
extension.

features that the configuration file does not include. When you run a shell script, the NWA/WAC
only applies the commands that it contains. Other settings do not change.
