Here is some stuff I'd like to see on the command line:
Option Why
nowindow When updating from cron or any background process
I'd like it to be silent. Defaulting to a log file
or stdout. Channel failure should go to stderr.
logfile specify a log file to write to other than the default
logdir specify directory to put log file(s) in
logchan log parsing to log files based on section names
the other log file would contain info on what channels
worked/failed. (in some way someone could parse out the
sections)
channels list all the channels one per line
sections list all sections one per line
chandue list all channels due one per line
secdue list all sections due one per line
{options} set some of the config items temporarily from the command line.
proxy would be one, maybe even console/progress option
status set exit status based on failure of channels (this should
not be an option, should always be set).
1 = failed channel
2 = more than one failed channel
10 = no channels to process (none due)
11 = can't write log file(s)
...
version return version info of this desktop
Anyone else have anything to add? Mind you, these are only brainstorming.
The actual switches should be decided by the the author.
