Python Scripts Directory

bw447 — Wed, 12 Apr 2017 23:08:00 GMT

I'm starting to get a number of pythons scripts on my switches/stacks. From what I can tell if I create a directory and move the scripts into it I'm not able to execute them. Even if I cd into the directory, I'm still not able to run them. It looks like they have to be in the /usr/local/cfg directory. I just want to make sure that I'm not missing anything.

I'm running ExOS 16.1.3.6

Thanks!

The run script and load script will expect the target script file to be in the directory you are currently in. So, if I cd into a subdirectory off of /usr/local/cfg and then run script {filename.py}, that script will be executed. However, were I to cd back to the /usr/local/cfg directory, and try that same command, I will get a file not found error, or even if I run script ./{subfolder}/{filename.py}, that will give me an invalid filename error.

That has been fixed in 16.2.2p1-3 (or whatever the patch number was), so it's also available with latest 16.2.3.

Stephane is correct:
The bug tracker number for:

is fixed in
