== Automatic commands ==
To execute some automatic commands, the "auto=" command line parameter is used.

Every automatic command have to be a valid command for the CLI mode. The automatic mode will execute all the commands, one by one as if they were entered by a user on the CLI.

Syntax is 
 auto='<cmd1>; <cmd2>; <cmd3>;'

Every command have to be separated by a semi-colon (';') character. In case of a single command, the semi-colon must be used, like in
 auto='show cpu;'
