Hello,
I'm thinking how to go about integrating the hopefully soon to be
available print-manifests and delete-manifest commands into installadm.
The usage I have for each is:
delete-manifest [-i instance] manifest A/I_service_dir
print-manifests [-c] A/I_service_dir
These options provide flexibility, but that wasn't planned in installadm.
For delete-manifest it allows one to delete a specific set of criteria for
a particular manifest (opposed to every criteria set for that manifest).
For print-manifest -c prints the criteria and instances out opposed to
just the manifest names. It seems this provides significant benefit for
admins, but how should installadm offer it?
Right now there's installadm list with the usage "list [-n <svcname>]"
which is overloaded to mean provide a service and get manifests for that
service otherwise get a list of services. Would it make sense to change
the usage to "list [-n <svcname> [-c]]"?
Otherwise, for remove the usage is: "remove -m <manifest> -n
<svcname>". I don't believe there's any overloading planned, but perhaps
I'm wrong? If not I'd propose changing remove to have the usage "remove
-m <manifest> [-i <instance>] -n <svcname>" to allow an admin to remove
either an enitre manifest or just one criteria set for that manifest.
Thank you,
Clay
