Re: [nv-l] loadhosts CLI

You don't need to do anything with the linefeeds, just pressing the return key
inside the vi editor will put the linefeed in for you. Just make sure you don't put a space before
the final EOF, neither put the '>' in front.

loadhosts -m 255.255.255.0 <<EOF 
10.1.1.1 demohost1.com demohost2
10.1.1.2 demohost2.com demohost2
EOF

hello all, 

attempting to use loadhosts inside a script on UNIX.    generally when I want to do a loadhosts it looks something like this. 

loadhosts -m subnet <<EOF 
>ip hostname 
>ip hostname 
>ip hostname 
>EOF 

this works at the command line jsut fine. My issue however is how can I put all that onto one line so that I can put it inside a script?   if you look atl the line it has line feed (^J) characters in it but  adding them in the script does not seem to work. any suggestions?   

Thanks
