This topic explains how to create and run command scripts using gfsh, the Tanzu GemFire command-line.
gfsh offers several ways to run commands in a scripting environment.
Running gfsh Scripts
You can create and run scripts that contain gfsh commands that you wish to execute. To execute the script, use the gfsh run command. For example:
gfsh run --file=mycommands.gfsh
When you run a gfsh script, interactive parameters are ignored. You can also set the script to run in quiet mode to prevent output and instruct the script to skip any errors.
You may find your command history file to be helpful when you write a gfsh script. A history of commands that have been executed successfully is logged in the .gfsh.history file in the home directory of any user running gfsh. You can also export a history file with the history --file=your_file_name command.
When a user runs start server or start locator from gfsh without specifying the member name, gfsh automatically uses a randomly selected member name. Use this for automation.
