Writing a script in the command file

Notes on writing script in the command file
When you write a script in your command file, be aware of the following:

Ensure that only one subcommand is used in one line.

Empty lines in any command file will be ignored.

Use a semicolon (;) if you want to insert a comment in your command file. If you enter a
semicolon in one line, the remaining characters in that line will be regarded as a comment.
Following are examples of comments in a command file:

;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;; COMMAND FILE: command.txt ;;;;
;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
svpip 158.214.135.57 ; IP address of SVP
login expusr "passwd" ; Log onto SVP
