There has also been some talk, maybe on the playerstage-developers list, about being able to supply any config parameter using environment variables and/or command line options in addition to the config file.
Anyone still interested in that kind of thing? Reed Esposito Mario wrote:
Dear Sirs, I'm using Player and Gazebo for simulated experiments togheter with genethic algorithms and neural networks. I'm doing trials of about 64000 simulation cycles, each cycle lasts at least 1,5 minutes. For this purpose I created a java procedure named GazeboCommander that given the Player config file/s and the Gazebo world file, open the gazebo server on the next free port, and Player/s connecting on that gazebo port and listening on subsequential ports. An example: I ask the procedure to open a gazebo with 3 Players connecting to it. I simple give it one gazebo world file and 3 player config files and this makes a new instantiation of a GazeboCommander class that 'll open the gazebo server on the first free port, i.e. on the port 5, and 3 Player listening at 6500, 6501 and 6502 ports (ports that who uses the program may ignore completely). When the execution terminates I simple tell the istance of GazeboCommander to close and all the process running for that specific gazebo and gazebo itself at the port 5 (and not on the other eventually ports) will be closed. My problem is that this beautiful classes makes use of the Player 1.6 -g option!!! With Player 2.0, as this option isn't there any more, to modify my class in a suitable way, I would have to make the class write at run-time a config file for every opening Player and so at least 64000 files!!! Why don't you reinsert in some way the old and dear -g option? Of course I'd like to share this java class if useful... Thanks I hope you can help us.
