Automated ASM Backup - working bash script now to automate or convert to iCall/tcl

  - Done. Thanks again. I'll come back and add some more specific information to help out anyone landing here in the future.

Sorry it took me so long to come back and put some detail here.

1. First up, I copied my bash script to the F5 platform.
2. Next I created the iCall script that will execute the bash script.
3. Finally I created the iCall period handler that will run every 4 weeks.

*From interactive tmsh shell on the F5:

create sys icall script asmBackupScript

Now in VIM, edit the script and save.

   sys icall script hi {
 
      app-service none
 
      definition {
 
         exec /asmBackup/asmBackup.sh
 
      }
 
      description none
 
      events none

Creating the iCall Periodic Handler:

The one liner below needs to run from an interactive tmsh shell.

create sys icall handler periodic asmBackupHandler {interval 2419200 script asmBackupScript}

You can then edit this script further in vim by running:

edit sys icall handler periodic asmBackupHandler

eg: you can add a time for this script to run first time:

The setup below will see the script run every 4th Sunday at 10:00am

sys icall handler periodic asmBackupHandler {
	first-occurrence 2019-07-07:10:00:00
	interval 2419200
	script asmBackupScript
}
