visulox-portal object script

Runs a batch script of visulox-portal object commands, or enables commands to be run interactively.

Syntax

CODE

visulox-portal object script

Description

The batch script consists of standard visulox-portal object commands, one per line, without the visulox-portal object prefix. For example, use edit rather than visulox-portal object edit.
The batch script can use a back slash (\) to break commands across multiple lines. Lines beginning with a hash (#) are treated as comments and ignored.

If you need to include quotes (") or a backslash (\) character in any of the values for the commands, you must backslash protect them. For example, to use "c:\\Program Files" as a value for the --args option, type the following: --args "\"c:\\Program Files\""

The command reads from standard input. For example, you can use a “here-document” to run a batch script:

CODE

visulox-portal object script <<EOF
commands
EOF

If standard input is empty, you can run visulox-portal object commands interactively.

Examples

The following example adds the group Applications to the organizational units Sales and Marketing, and sets the Sales OU's attribute to false.

CODE

visulox-portal object script <<EOF
add_link
--name "o=Example/ou=Sales"
"o=Example/ou=Marketing"
