grep'ng for 'string' in bigip.conf

The output is just each object instance ordered by name. The eventual goal is to use the same ordering of object types as they're listed in the original bigip.conf. For now it's just a way to reorder the bigip.conf to make diff'ing of two different bigip.conf's easier.

 

 

So if you had a few classes, pools and VIPs defined but listed in mixed alphabetical order:

 

 

whose_class {...}

 

your_class {...}

 

my_class {...}

 

 

your_rule_1 {...}

 

my_rule_2 {...}

 

my_rule_1 {...}

 

 

your_vip_2 {...}

 

my_vip_2 {...}

 

your_vip_1 {...}

 

my_vip_1 {...}

 

 

The script would write these out in alphabetical order with the definitions unchanged:

 

 

my_class {...}

 

whose_class {...}

 

your_class {...}

 

 

my_rule_1 {...}

 

my_rule_2 {...}

 

your_rule_1 {...}

 

 

my_vip_1 {...}

 

my_vip_2 {...}

 

your_vip_1 {...}

 

your_vip_2 {...}

 

 

At some point, I'd like to write out the object types in the same order as they were parsed from the bigip.conf. But for now, the order is hardcoded in the script. Once I fix that, I'll add it to the codeshare.
