Use digidevice.cli to execute CLI commands
Use the digidevice.cli Python module to issue CLI commands from Python to retrieve status and
statistical information about the device.
For example, to display the system status and statistics by using an interactive Python session, use
the show system command with the cli module:
1. Select a device in Remote Manager that is configured to allow shell access to the admin user,
and click Actions > Open Console. Alternatively, log into the Connect EZ local command line as
a user with shell access.
Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection
menu. Type shell to access the device shell.
2. At the shell prompt, use the python command with no parameters to enter an interactive
Python session:
# python
Python 3.10.1 (main, Mar 30 2023, 23:47:13) [GCC 11.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
3. Import the cli submodule:
>>> from digidevice import cli
>>>
4. Execute a CLI command using the cli.execute(command) function. For example, to print the
system status and statistics to stdout using the show system command:
>>> response = cli.execute("show system")
>>>
>>> print (response)
