How to auto yes to tmsh show command ?

Hello,

 

I would have one problem in tmsh. From bash I could check the configured virtual servers name :

 

From bash

 

echo yes | tmsh show ltm virtual | grep $ tmsh -q show ltm virtual | grep $

 

but the question is, how could I check it directly from tmsh ? My problem is that when I made a script it always wait for input yes, if it is possible I would use a correct command which doesn't wait for input.

 

show ltm virtual | grep $ Display all 630 items? (y/n)

 

At this moment to use bash would be problematic. Please let me know if you have any solution for this in tmsh.

 

Best Regards,

 

Csaba

    can you try this?

    root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) modify cli preference pager disabled display-threshold 0

root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list cli preference
cli preference {
    alias-path { /Common }
    display-threshold 0
    pager disabled
    prompt { host user status current-folder config-sync-status }
    suppress-warnings { }
}

    Nitas has already answered your tmsh CLI question, but from bash, normally tmsh detects when you're running interactive or not (i.e. redirect to a pipe). And ONLy asks for confirmation when you're interactive. For Example

    bash tmsh show ltm virtual | grep CPU

    will NOT prompt for all objects and simply send all the output to the pipe for passing to grep.

    So from bash your 'echo yes |' is wasted cycles...

    Use the tmsh -q switch from bash: tmsh -q show ltm virtual No 'less' prompt. Use wisely - you should have an idea just how lengthy the request is before you let it off the 'less' leash.

     

    Tested on v11.6.3.

    Hello,

    Does anyone know hot to disable paging in 14.2?

    I have done it as usual but keeps prompting if I really want to display all the output.
