    You don't need to write a shell script, you can use the 'edit' feature in tmsh.

    For example, if you wanted to add an iRule to all of your virtual servers you could do the following

    This bring up the vim editor, so you can use find and replace to add a new iRule to all your virtual servers with one line

You can run the "list" function to get the list of the existing irules attached to a VS, and then add the new irule to the list and then attach to the VS.

    I am planning for a shell script
