I am working with a blcli script tied to a php web front end. The php front end calls to the blcli (NSH) script which executes various blcli commands and returns the information to the php front end.
I am wanting to know if it is possible to execute the script repeatedly but somehow cache the blauth connection so that I don't have to go through the "blcred, blcli_connect" stanza over and over again. My intention for this is that I want to cut down on the amount of time it takes for my blcli commands to execute by avoiding the authentication steps.
When I try to do this now, I end up with a "No authentication profile specified error upon the execution of the script without the authentication stanza.
In my perfect world:
- NSH BLCLI script executes the first time with authentication
- Authentication is cached
- NSH BLCLI script executes the second (and all subsequent) time but skips authentication (since it's already open)
I saw that "bltray" does this but I am not sure I can actually do that from the command line or on linux.
Thanks.
