How can you script clear line and confirm on a Cisco router

mdbakerusa

We are trying to execute the following command via script from Solarwinds.  We've used both a scheduled job and immediately executing a saved script via Configuration Management.

Hostname#clear line 3

The IOS then asks you to [confirm], to which you would simply type "y" and not even need to press Enter.

We've tried several variations of the script but with zero luck.

Try #1

clear line 3

y

Try #2

clear line 3${CR}y

Try #3

conf t

do clear line 3

y

end

Try #4

conf t

do clear line 3${CR}y

end

Anyone have a solution?
