WildFly CLI Scripting

Overview
This article describes various aspects of using CLI as a command-line execution tool - as opposite to an interactive session tool.
Connection to a Host Controller
In order to be able to interact with a host controller, CLI must be connected. For options on how to connect see:
Executing a Single Command
Any word or phrase without white spaces in it is assumed to be a command. The --command argument optionally precedes it.
After a command is executed, the CLI will terminate the session.
Example:
jboss-cli.sh -c [--command=]ls
If a command requires space-separated arguments, command and the arguments should be enclosed is single quotes:
jboss-cli.sh -c [--command=]'deploy ./test.war --server-groups=web-frontend'
Executing Multiple Commands Specified on Command Line
In order to execute multiple commands (individual commands are assumed not to contain spaces), specify them in a comma separated list at the end of the argument list. Spaces are not allowed. The --commands argument optionally precedes it.
After the last command in the sequence is executed, the CLI will terminate the session.
Example:
jboss-cli.sh -c [--commands=]ls,pwd
If a command requires space-separated arguments, command and the arguments should be enclosed is single quotes:
jboss-cli.sh -c [--commands=]ls,'deploy ./test.war --server-groups=web-frontend'
Executing a Sequence of Commands Listed in a File
jboss-cli.sh -c --file=./commands.cli
where /commands.climay contain multiple commands, one per line. Individual commands may contain spaces. Example:
pwd ls deploy servlet-example.war --force
Script Example
batch # Configure the connection from main server to "one" and "two" /socket-binding-group=standard-sockets/remote-destination-outbound-socket-binding=remote-ejb:add(host=localhost, port=4647) # add security realm /core-service=management/security-realm=ejb-security-realm:add() /core-service=management/security-realm=ejb-security-realm/server-identity=secret:add(value=cXVpY2stMTIz) # add the outbound connections to the remoting subsystem /subsystem=remoting/remote-outbound-connection=remote-ejb-connection:add(outbound-socket-binding-ref=remote-ejb, security-realm=ejb-security-realm, username=quickuser) /subsystem=remoting/remote-outbound-connection=remote-ejb-connection/property=SASL_POLICY_NOANONYMOUS:add(value=false) /subsystem=remoting/remote-outbound-connection=remote-ejb-connection/property=SSL_ENABLED:add(value=false) run-batch
Coalesced Scripts
This is where you can use bash variables.
#!/bin/bash # ... jboss-cli.sh -c <<EOF batch #deploy target/playground.war --server-groups=main-server-group deploy target/playground.war --force run-batch EOF

See coalesced scripts above.
I've seen this example, how does it work, how is Host1_Name defined?
/host=$Host1_Name:write-local-domain-controller reload --host=$Host1_Name
