trigger.gorc — Determine commands to run upon login

This is used by go - Device connector to execute commands upon login to a device. A user may specify a list of commands to execute for each vendor. If the file is not found, or the syntax is bad, no commands will be passed to the device.

By default, only a very limited subset of root commands are allowed to be specified within the .gorc. Any root commands not explicitly permitted will be filtered out prior to passing them along to the device.

The only public interface to this module is get_init_commands. Given a .gorc That looks like this:

cisco:
    term mon
    terminal length 0
    show clock

This is what is returned:

>>> from trigger import gorc
>>> gorc.get_init_commands('cisco')
['term mon', 'terminal length 0', 'show clock']

You may also pass a list of commands as the init_commands argument to the connect function (or a NetDevice object’s method of the same name) to override anything specified in a user’s .gorc:

>>> from trigger.netdevices import NetDevices
>>> nd = NetDevices()
>>> dev = nd.find('foo1-abc')
>>> dev.connect(init_commands=['show clock', 'exit'])
Connecting to foo1-abc.net.aol.com.  Use ^X to exit.

foo1-abc#show clock

foo1-abc#exit
>>>
