Command Set

If you try to run two policies containing SSH objects at the same time, then unexpected errors can occur. For example, the first policy can send commands in the SSH session created by the second policy. These errors occur because a class which handles the SSH connection is static.

This Automation Manager object sends one or multiple commands to a remote device. Commands are added one at a time and executed in order from top to bottom. Output of an executing command is parsed for configured Expect statements to inform the executing device when the executed command is complete and the next command can be sent. Expect statements are not required for all commands but should be used if executed command produces several lines of output.
