On the contrary, Analog and Report Magic are designed to be scripted. If they were GUI apps I would think them more destined for Desktop use, but they both take command-line parameters and can easily be scripted. I have setup Analog and Report Magic on systems that host several thousand websites. At that volume we even automate the setup. Both products can read multiple configuration files and can be controlled from the command line. Analog's command line codes references is in the index (http://www.analog.cx/docs/indx.html) under "Command-line arguments." Report Magic's command line arguments are described in http://www.reportmagic.org/docs/commands.html. Analog will normally read the default analog.cfg unless you specifically exclude it with the '-G' argument. You can add other config files with a '+gnew_config.cfg' argument. Report Magic will read whatever settings file you give on the command line, e.g. rmagic new_settings.ini If you want to include another file, use the Include directive in the file you are telling it to read. In any case, scripting Analog and Report Magic is fairly easy. Generally there are only a few settings you need to change for each domain so you can probably do that from the command line in your batch file. If there are several settings you want to change, make a custom config and settings file for each domain and run Analog and Report Magic for each file respectively. -- Jeremy Wadsack Wadsack-Allen Digital Group +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | This is the analog-help mailing list.
