Hello,
Studying the FusionInventory Agent v2.2.0 command line options I
have missed one of them.
In the same way that there is the option --list-tasks to list the
tasks you can indicate in the option --no-task, why don't you include a
new option --list-categories to list those categories it's possible to
indicate in the option --no-category?
It's only a proposal, of course. Best regards.
It seems a good idea, and I was about to implement it. But I found two
reasons not to do it.
First, I dont want to add yet another task-specific option to the agent.
'--list-categories' would only make sense for something that is supposed
to be a plugin, not a core feature.
For 2.3.x, we could prefix all current task-specific options to make
them more explicit:
--no-category -> --inventory-no-category
--scan-homedirs -> --inventory-scan-homedirs
--html -> --inventory-format
--force -> --inventory-force
--tag -> --inventory-tag
--backend-collect-timeout -> --inventory-module-timeout
--additional-content -> --inventory-content-file
--no-p2p -> --wakeonlan-no-p2p
Then, we could eventually add a new --inventory-list-categories
Second, there is quitte a difference between available tasks and
available categories: the first one depend of your installation, and can
only be computed at runtime, whereas the second one is hardcoded in the
code.
So, I just commited a change in agent documentation, in the options
description, enumerating available values (commit #9636e2e). IMHO, it's
a far better solution.
