Monitoring node with npath routing

When run from bash you can suppress the prompt with -q and run multiple commands with -c. Shown below with and without -q. Sounds like you just need to connect to bash prompt and run tmsh -q "show ltm virtual" and pull out what you need.

  tmsh -c "show sys clock; show sys connection"

Really display all connections? (y/n)


  tmsh -q -c "show sys clock; show sys connection"

Thanks so much for the quick answer. Having some trouble though, and it's probably due to lack of experience with F5. This is the prompt when I log directly in using Plink:

ltmops@***********(Active)(tmos)

When I try to use "tmsh -q..." I get an error msg. Is it rights related, by chance?

Syntax Error: unexpected argument "tmsh"

Trying just "-q show..." gives a similar unexpected argument "-q" error.

that's because you are connecting to the TMSH shell and not bash. The easiest solution would be to allow the ltmops user to connect to advanced shell (bash) in System-Users but this assumes local auth, if you are using remote auth it may be a bit more difficult.

Thanks, but I believe it would be like twisting teeth to get any changes to the account implemented. So, if I'm getting this correctly, there is no way to suppress the prompt with this type of access?
