Enabling an Event Script
Event scripts are stored on a device’s hard drive in the /var/db/scripts/event directory or on the flash
drive in the /config/scripts/event directory. Only users in the Junos OS super-user login
class can access and edit files in these directories. For information
about setting the storage location for scripts, see Storing Scripts in Flash Memory.
 | Note:
If the device has dual Routing Engines and you want to
enable an event script to execute on both Routing Engines, you must
copy the script to the |
You must enable an event op script before it can be executed. Include the file filename statement at the [edit event-options events-script] hierarchy level, specifying the name of an Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) or Stylesheet Language Alternative Syntax (SLAX) file containing an event script. Only users who belong to the Junos super-user login class can enable event scripts.
The filename of an event script written in SLAX must include
the .slax extension for the script
to be enabled and executed. No particular filename extension is required
for event scripts written in XSLT, but we strongly recommend that
you append the .xsl extension.
To determine which event scripts are currently enabled on the
device, use the show command to display the files included
at the [edit event-options event-script] hierarchy level.
To ensure that the enabled files are on the device, list the contents
of the /var/run/scripts/event/ directory
using the file list /var/run/scripts/event operational
mode command.
