Full Discussion: Executing several commands in a text file
Homework and Emergencies Emergency UNIX and Linux Support Executing several commands in a text file Post 302964529 by chakrapani on Friday 15th of January 2016 11:15:53 AM

The text file needs to be chmod to executable to run it as suggested.

@otheus you have suggested the all the best possible solutions.

One thing to remember you should know what are the commands doing. example a telnet/ssh or ftp command will have your script (text file) to loose control over the script unless these exit. You need these special commands to be handled specially with 'expect' or with special pipes.

Also if you want them to run as batch not one line at a time. I am assuming you need next command to start along with previous command. Just add a '&' to command. This will run in background.

Do make sure you read up about background commands before going further. You could seriously damage the host if you have multiple commands running in background.

Paste the text file you want make it run as script. That could give more details on how to handle things.

asadmin-multimode

asadmin-multimode(1AS)													    asadmin-multimode(1AS)

NAME

       asadmin-multimode,  multimode  - allows you to execute multiple commands while preserving environment settings and remaining in the asadmin
       utility

SYNOPSIS

       multimode [--file filename] [--printprompt=true] [--encoding encode] [--terse=false] [--echo=false]

       Use multimode to process the asadmin commands. The command-line interface will prompt you for a command, execute that command, display  the
       results	of the command, and then prompt you for the next command. Additionally, all the asadmin option names set in this mode are used for
       all the subsequent commands. You can set your environment and run commands until you exit multimode by typing "exit"  or  "quit."  You  can
       also provide commands by passing a previously prepared list of commands from a file or standard input (pipe). You can invoke multimode from
       within a multimode session; once you exit the second multimode environment, you return to your original multimode environment.

       This command is supported in local mode only.

       --file		       reads the commands as defined in the file.

       --printprompt	       allows the printing of asadmin prompt after each command is executed. Set this option to false  when  the  commands
			       are piped or redirected from the standard input or file. By default the option is set to true.

       --encoding	       specifies the locale for the file to be decoded.

       --terse		       indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-
			       formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.

       --echo		       setting to true will echo the command line statement on to the standard output. Default is false.

       Example 1: Using multimode to execute multiple commands

       example% asadmin multimode --file commands_file.txt

       Where: example% is the system prompt. The multimode settings are executed from the commands_file.txt file.

EXIT STATUS

       0		       command executed successfully

       1		       error in executing the command
