Hi all, I’ve written a replacement for traffic_shell, entirely in Perl using our Perl Admin module. This has two benefits:
1) It eliminates a huge dependency on TCL (and readline or similar lib), leaving only the hash TCL code left. 2) I feel it makes for a more manageable tool, that we can now improve / work on more easily. The downside is that we lose the ability to write TCL script using the traffic_shell interpreter. I honestly don’t feel this being a huge problem, particularly if we focus efforts on getting the MgmtAPI’s into modern scripting languages. The new version is virtually identical to the old version, with one small exception; show:alarms does not work. It does mean that in order to use traffic_shell, you must have Perl installed. Thoughts? I’d like to land this for v5.0.0. — Leif
