Hi,

Trying to create a script for my Elevation privilege on my engine, but i'm stuck on how to create a script with multilines.

How to indecate new line when for example you set the contect of privilege script at the cli

eg. LandsharkEngine host privilegeElevation profileScript 'msa_commande' update *> set contents=


Regards,

Hello Mouhssine,

The multiline have some challenges in CLI. You can achieve this by writing a bash shell function to extract the file contents for elevation profile script (e.g. dlpx_pfexec, dlpx_mkdir...)

Code snippet:

extract_contents()  {     PROFILE_NAME="${1}"     SCRIPT_FILE="${2}"     CONTENTS=""     row=""       PFEXEC_FILE="${BASEDIR}/${PROFILE_NAME}/${SCRIPT_FILE}"       if [ ! -f ${PFEXEC_FILE} ]; then        echo "Error: Can't read file ${PFEXEC_FILE}"        exit 1     fi     IFS=''     while read line  || [ -n "${line}" ]     do        row='echo "${row}\n${line}"'     done < ${PFEXEC_FILE}       CONTENTS=$(echo "${row}" | sed -e 's/\"/\\\"/g' | sed -e 's/\$/'\$'/g' | sed -e 's/\t/    /g' )    }

Then pass the CONTENTS to a WebAPI call

create_profile_script()
{
   URL="${1}"
   PROFILE_REF="${2}"
   NAME="${3}"
   CONTENTS="${4}"
   echo "Creating profile script ${NAME}"
   RESULT='curl -s -X POST -k --data @- ${URL}/resources/json/delphix/host/privilegeElevation/profileScript \
      -b ${COOKIE_FILE} -H "Content-Type: application/json" <<EOF
   {
      "type": "HostPrivilegeElevationProfileScript",
      "profile": "${PROFILE_REF}",
      "name": "${NAME}",
      "contents": "${CONTENTS}"
   }
EOF'

Hope this helps.

Hi Edward, It's a great workaround will try it, but still find that we need to get facilities on using also cli without passing via the API call. For example introduce escape chars our allow to interpret \n as new line when setting content. Anyway many thanks for the advice. Regards, Mouhssine
