Search or grep options for finding older frames

Open raphaelfournier opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

I am regularly restarting some frames, to continue working on a project with the same set of tags. In order to quickly find the frames I am looking for, I have added the following bash alias in my config: alias wtgrep='/usr/bin/watson log --all | grep -i'

I then type wtgrep projectname, get a frame id and then copy/paste like this: watson restart 5fc45af.

I don't know if it would be useful to others to implement this as a full watson command (watson search or watson grep).

I have to confess that I had to update the display of the log command, to left-align the project name (otherwise it was sometimes hard to read because of the padding).

As my tags become more and more through time and I want to reuse some of them, I use your alias approach to search for already existing tags:

alias wftags="watson tags | grep -i"

so this command:

$ wftags research

gives me:

research
