Using the showtech Script

When you upgrade to a new version of CSS software, all script files that you have
modified in the previous software version's /script directory need to be copied to
the new software version's /script directory or else the scripts remain in the old
/script directory and the CSS will not find them.
Follow these steps before upgrading your CSS software:
Use the archive script command in SuperUser mode to archive each script

file. For details on archiving a script, refer to Chapter 1,

version, refer to Appendix A,
Use the restore script command in SuperUser mode to restore the scripts to

the /script subdirectory of the new software version. For details for restoring
a script, refer to Chapter 1,
To gather information designed to assist the Cisco Technical Assistance Center
(TAC) in analyzing your CSS, use the showtech script. The output of the script
displays a set of CSS status and configurations settings that the TAC can use for
problem resolution. Use the output-capturing capabilities of your application
connected to the CSS to save the script output for analysis.
You can also save the script output to the file log/showtech.out by entering y at
the prompt as shown below. You can then copy the output file and send it to the
TAC if necessary.
To run the script, enter:
# script play showtech
Save output to disk [y/n]? y
Output will be saved to log/showtech.out
Please wait...
If you enter n, then the output appears on your screen.
