Hello. On a Fortigate, is there a (CLI) command to change printout output from 'more' to 'standard' without a configuration change? Perhaps lurking as an option in some diagnose command? R's, Fern

Thank you - I appreciate every reply... but.. can you reread the question - especially, the italics part? (Perhaps it should have been italics and bold and underlined.)

Hi @Fern-X

Thank you for posting your query.

In FortiGate to display the "terminal length 0" like output we have the option to change the configuration from more to standard.

I understand that you are looking for a command in which configuration change is not required, however in Fortigate above setting is a permanent config setting, not a temporary setting for the current session like 'ter len 0'.

Hi! Not a command, but a hack:
Run your command and run it through grep. Example for configuration:
show | grep ""
Grep doesn't use pagination! Just found out because we had the same problem being RO user on the CLI.

Hi! Wow - thanks! Seemingly, Fortinet("Grep doesn't use pagination!") bug can be useful.

Hm, didn't know this is a bug :) BTW, final solution would be something not requiring configuration change. My approach would be a non pagination by default and usage of "more", just like in linux.

Examples:

show | more

show | grep -f interface | more
