Example
The following example shows how to get the input from the local tty in a synchronous applet and store the
value
Device(config)# event manager applet action
Device(config-applet)# event none
Device(config-applet)#
action label2 gets input
Device(config-applet)#
action label3 syslog msg "Input entered was \"$input\""
Writing Input to the Active Console
When a synchronous policy is triggered, the related console is stored in the publish information specification.
The policy director will query this information in an event_reqinfo call, and store the given console information
for use by the
action puts command.
The
action puts
command will write the string to the active console. A new line will be displayed unless the
nonewline keyword is specified. The output from the action puts command for a synchronous applet is
displayed directly to the console, bypassing the system logger. The output of the action puts command for
an asynchronous applet is directed to the system logger.
