Creating a UNIX API Script

Use the information in this section to create a UNIX shell script to be run on a Dell
Force10 switch.
The F10SmartScriptUtils.py file is the main API library file that contains the
functions that you can include in a UNIX shell script. The F10SmartScriptUtils.py
file is downloaded with the Programmatic Management package and is stored at /usr/
pkg/scripts/smartutils.
from a UNIX shell script, including the supported functions and required arguments.
Figure 3-5 shows an example of how to write a script in the UNIX shell scripting
language. You can store a UNIX shell script anywhere on the switch.
