Native tmsh/bash commands via REST API

Hi all,   is there a way to execute native tmsh or bash commands using the REST API? As long as there are not all configurations controllable by REST i would like to execute some commands directly...

I am trying tmsh_commandlist = open("tmsh_commandlist.txt") from the python program specified above. I created command file tmsh_commandlist.txt which has a tmsh command i want to execute "create ltm node TEST3 address 3.3.3.3". When i run the program it completes successfully however does not create the new node on the LTM itself. As per my understanding i just have to specify the ltm commands as we type it on the F5 CLI to the text file and this program will configure it on the device. Any suggestions What could be the problem.

 

Thanks
