RouterOS scripting

A script is a list of console commands plus a small language (variables, conditions, loops, functions). Commands run line by line until the end or a runtime error. Scripts live in /system/script or are written inline in event properties (on-event, up-script, ...). Use the CLI path style /ip/firewall/filter/add ... (slash-separated, as everywhere in this repository) or the space style; both work.

Check a script file before applying it

.rsc files (also what /export writes) are applied with /import. verbose=yes dry-run simulates it and reports syntax errors without changing the configuration; dry-run works only in verbose mode.

bash scripts/dry-run-import.sh --host 192.0.2.1 --user admin my-config.rsc

./scripts/dry-run-import.ps1 -HostName 192.0.2.1 -User admin my-config.rsc
