set noautoindent

 

set nosmartindent

The basics to get this script installed are:

 

 

Type these:

 

 

tmsh

 

 

cli script

 

 

edit SCRIPT_NAME

 

 

:set noautoindent

 

 

:set nosmartindent

 

 

Copy & paste in the contents of the script

 

 

Save and quit the editor

 

 

After it successfully accepts the script you can call it from the regular “advanced cli” (in other words “bash”) as:

 

tmsh run cli script min-member-pool.tcl

In an upcoming release you will be able to run a script from a file of your choice.
