Do

Contents

Introduction and Overview

During execution of commands from scripts, it is often useful to expand system variables into their values. This allows parameters to be passed to commands which would otherwise not perform this expansion. The Do command causes this expansion (and other GSTrans-like expansions) to be performed.

*Commands

*Do

Execute a command, after passing it through GSTrans
Syntax
*Do <command>
Parameters
<command>-Command to execute
Use

This command is used to execute commands after they have been passed through the GSTrans routines. This will cause system variables, and escaped characters to be expanded to their values. Usually this is used to run commands using values of system variables, rather than the variables themselves.

Example
*Do IfConfig -e eh0 ip

None
