Saving and appending show command output to a file

For output of a show command saved or appended to a file, the oscmd command enables you to display the file.

1. Save the show command output to a file.
   

   device# show ssh server status | save status 

   In this example, the show ssh server status output is saved to the status file.

2. Display the contents of the file with the Linux cat command.
   

   device# oscmd cat status 
   VRF-Name: mgmt-vrf      Status: Enabled
   VRF-Name: default-vrf   Status: Enabled
   

3. Append the show output to an existing file.
   

   device# show ip interface brief | last 5 | append status

   In this example, the show ip interface brief output is appended to the status file.
4. Display the contents of the file with the Linux cat command.
   

   device# oscmd cat status
   VRF-Name: mgmt-vrf      Status: Enabled
