Can you clarify what you mean by "iControl"? iControl is an management/automation API that is on a F5 platform. There are associated client libraries for the iControl APIs that we have build in .Net, PowerShell, Java, and Python. If you want to create an iControl script on Linux, you will need to find a client library or toolkit that is supported on that platform. Perl will work on virtually any platform and there are a lot of samples on DevCentral calling our SOAP APIs via Perl. Java should work for you on Linux as well. While Powershell is now available cross-platform, the underlying .Net framework (portable version) code does not include the needed System.Web.Services classes to support SOAP API calls in the .Net library.

 

Hope that helps...
