NimbostratusCan I have a command take up multiple lines to make it easier to read?
With Bigpipe, I could write up a command that would take up multiple lines and then paste it into the prompt via a putty session to create various things. E.g.:
bigpipe pool pool1 '{
monitor all tcp
members
1.2.3.4:7035
1.2.3.5:7035
1.2.3.6:7035
monitor tcp
}'
When I try to do something similar with tmsh, it doesn't work. If I create a pool/virt with one long line of settings, it works fine. If I try to break it up so it's readable like the example above, then it doesn't seem to work.
Is there a way to do this with the tmsh stuff? Cam I just missing something?

Technically no. TMSH doesn't allow you to insert newline characters in the command line. That said, you CAN use newline characters outside of the TM shell using regular Linux syntax.
[root@bigip1:Active:Standalone] config tmsh \ > modify ltm pool local-pool \ > members add { \ > 10.10.10.10:80 \ > 10.10.10.11:80 \ > }Thankfully TMSH also ignore extra white space.

Can I also use this if I'm creating things in a Partition?
Surprisingly that does work. Just specify the complete path to the pool.
