Long running mode for DSC
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
For integration into other products, it would make sense to have a dsc
long-running mode which can accept multiple operations and not exit the process.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Probably a --server-mode
type switch that has dsc.exe
accept JSON commands to execute. Commands would be taken serially. Something of the form:
{
"DSCRequest": {
"id": "anything the client providers",
"operation": "get",
"configuration": { },
"configurationFile": "path",
"traceLevel": "info",
}
}
Where the properties would match many of the dsc
command line arguments. An additional:
{
"DSCResponse": {
"id": "returns what the client provides",
"status": "completed"
}
}
This would indicate that the operation completed or had an error (like Request was invalid).
Can also have a specific command like:
{
"DSCRequest": {
"operation": "exit"
}
}
This would tell dsc.exe
to clean-up and exit.
