[arm-allstar] macro question

[Doug Crompton]

Neil,

 I don't think you can pass parameters to a macro. There would be no way to test for vlaues. Why not call a script and pass parameters there. here is an example from rpt.conf. This is defined in the [functions] section. *A1 would call this and execute sayip.sh.  27225 is the passed parameter.

A1=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/sayip.sh 27225 

The in the sayip.sh script $1 is then defined as 27225.  You can have multiple parameters so if it were -

A1=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/sayip.sh 1 2 3

Then in the script $1 would =1, $2 would = 2, and $3 would =3.

This yet again shows the power of using scripts over built-in code.
