Re: [fwtools] problem piping data into python scripts

Kev,

If you set up your command prompt to have a scroll lines lenght of maybe 
3000, run your script and then press the 'pause' key.  When you scroll 
back up to the start of your command, I think you will find that there is 
an error which may have something to do with a missing or incorrect 'key'.

I had this happen on fw-1 configs that did not have any NATing so I ended 
up modifying the inital fwdoc script to check if there is NATing involved 
and if not then put a dummy entry into the .fwdoc file. (I am not a 
programmer so this was the only way I figure out quickly how to get around 
this)

I hope this helps you.

Regards,

Ken...
