The cr_clij Tool

The interactive command line mode uses the Jython interpreter as its shell. Operating in this mode, the CLI offers you these advantages:

• You don't have to type an entire command on a single line. You can simply enter a command name and then enter the command arguments that cr_clij prompts you for.

• You can take advantage of the command history stored by the shell.

• You can call N1 Service Provisioning System software commands from within a Jython script.

• You can create more powerful scripts for more complex, repetitive operations.

Jython Scripts

To call commands from within a Jython script, include the following code at the beginning of the script:

from clui import *
app=PyCLUI() 
app.execStr(CLI command) 	
App.close()	

The assignment app=PyCLUI() calls the CLI. The App.close() call deletes the instance of this Jython class.
