I use the clispec to test the modification of the cli.

I wrote a commands.cli as (P806, confd\_user\_guide-6.2):

clispec xmlns=“[http://tail-f.com/ns/clispec/1.0](http://tail-f.com/ns/clispec/1.0)” style=“j”\>  
configureMode\>  
modifications\>  
move src=“load” dest=“xload” inclSubCmds=“true”/\>  
/modifications\>  
/configureMode\>  
/clispec\>

I removed the “\<” for each line or the line can’t be shown.

And compile it to a file commands.ccl.  
Copy it to the loadpath dir in confd.conf.  
restart the confd.  
Still, the load command keep the same before. Why the clispec doesn’t work?

I am using the version confd-basic-6.2.linux.x86\_64;

You have specified the CLI style to be Juniper style in the above statement. You will need to change the style from j to c in order to see the effects in ConfD Basic.
