Owen Nichols updated GEODE-7013:
--------------------------------
Description:
When using the gfsh help command, it would be nice to be able to type only a
partial command to see help for all commands that begin with what I've typed.
For example, I know lots of commands start with {{start}} and I want a quick
summary to decide which one I need, so I type {{help start}} and this is all I
get:
Observed:
{code}
gfsh>help start
no help exists for this command.
{code}
Desired:
{code}
gfsh>help start
start gateway-receiver (Not Available)
Start the Gateway Receiver on a member or members.
start gateway-sender (Not Available)
Start the Gateway Sender on a member or members.
start jconsole (Available)
Start the JDK's JConsole tool in a separate process. JConsole will be
launched, but connecting to GemFire must be done manually.
start jvisualvm (Available)
Start the JDK's Java VisualVM (jvisualvm) tool in a separate process. Java
VisualVM will be launched, but connecting to GemFire must be done manually.
start locator (Available)
Start a Locator.
start pulse (Available)
Open a new window in the default Web browser with the URL for the Pulse
application.
start server (Available)
Start a GemFire Cache Server.
start vsd (Available)
Start VSD in a separate process.
Use help <command name> to display detailed usage information for a specific
command.
Help with command and parameter completion can also be obtained by entering all
or a portion of either followed by the "TAB" key.
{code}
Also it would be nice if tab-completion worked for {{hint}} and {{help}}
commands.
