There are many examples shown on github to help you create your scripts. Depending on your use case this may also be a good time to investigate Ansible. The use of Ansible allows control and automation of multiple devices.

Thank you for your post..

Though I am writing the script in BASH, the articles you suggested pointed me in the right direction to get it done..
