create script in bash that has tmos commands

How do I create a bash script that will run tmos commands and output the results to a file that can be sent to another server via sftp?

This is actually pretty straight forward. Take a look at the example BASH script monitor at /config/monitors/sample_monitor. This is an example of taking arguments from the GUI monitor (the node and IP), performing some action, and then reporting back ("up" or nothing). If you don't care about monitoring server nodes in your script, then you can just create a BASH script to do what you want it do. You'll use TMSH to get/set whatever you need from the running configuration and an SFTP client is on the box. If you create your script as a monitor and assign it to a "dummy" pool, the BIG-IP will do the job of scheduling it.

 

 

If you can be more specific with your request we can potentially help you write that script.
