Chapter 8 Using The Css Scripting Language - Cisco 11503 - CSS Content Services Switch Administration Manual

Using the CSS Scripting Language
The CSS includes a rich Scripting Language that you can use to write scripts to
automate everyday procedures. The Scripting Language is especially useful for
writing scripts used by script keepalives for your specific service requirements.
For details on script keepalives, refer to the Cisco Content Services Switch
Content Load-Balancing Configuration Guide.
Commands shown in the script examples are bolded for clarity.
Note
You can write scripts that use any command in the command line interface (CLI).
Scripts can also take advantage of logical blocks that run specific commands
based upon a set of conditionals and expressions.
