Hi Eric, I've assigned the ticket in JIRA to myself, as we are only able to assign them to committers, but have commented that you are working on it, not myself.
You'll find that the current CreateAdministrator.java class already interacts with the command line using the Apache Commons CLI library. This is the standard tool we use (although normally we also like to see a '-h' parameter that displays some help on how to the use the tool. To get a script to work, you'll also need to edit dspace/config/launcher.xml See: - http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/trunk/dspace/config/launcher.xml You can add your new class into this. You'll then be able to run: [dspace]/bin/dspace create-user (or whatever you call your class) Thanks, Stuart On 29/11/2011, at 2:20 PM, Eric Oliver wrote: > Thanks, Stuart! > > I made an account on JIRA, username 'olivere'.
