Linux: iris session [command line] get commands from a file

On Linux systems, the command line interface there is no command that says read commands from a file.

A sample session looks like:

iris session myinstance

Username: superuser

Password: ************

myinstance:USER>zn "%SYS"

myinstance:USER>write !,"hello"

hello

myinstance:USER>source /tmp/mycommands.iris <- new command suggestion to read commands from a file


ps. I think the functionality exists on Windows terminal application but does not exist on Linux terminal application

    Yes that is possible.


    However you cannot with this feature:

    • enter user id & password

    • Is not flexible, in that you cannot start an interactive seesion say to check on something then if the check proves OK then run a set of commands from a file
