Hi,

I wonder if someone can help me, I'm trying to create a VM and run a script, is this the correct json syntax?

linode create Node03 --location dallas --plan linode1024 --payment-term 1 --distribution 'Ubuntu 12.04' --group HTTP_Cluster --stackscript 12 --stackscriptjson { "db_password": "test12345" } --password test12345

I get this error

The JSON provided is invalid. Re-run with 'linode rebuild Node03 ...'

Many thanks

Due to how bash parses your command, the JSON you define is actually: '{', which is invalid.

Replace:

--stackscriptjson { "db_password": "test12345" }

with:

--stackscriptjson '{ "db_password": "test12345" }'

to tell the CLI to interpret your JSON string as 1 command-line parameter
