Big-IP LTM config Bash scripting question

Hi  ,

I think I've already put these on the codeshare, feel free to test my script from below links, you can customize them to your requirement too.

To answer your question, you have to use xargs command in your Irule capture statement. This will convert your multiline output to oneline with spaces inbetween. So it will look like below,

IRULE=`tmsh list ltm virtual ${VAL} rules                | awk 'BEGIN {RS="\n}"} !/none/ {print}' | grep -v ' rules \|}' | grep -v ltm.virtual | xargs`

Hope this helps.
