CLI wiki needs description of command arguments
I've been struggling with the CLI and understanding its usage. For my use-case, I am using it on a synology server (over SSH). My first hurdle was finding the CLI jar, which if you download JRomManager-2.5.1.zip
, and then run:
java -cp JRomManager.jar jrm.JRomManagerCLI -I
you get an error that says it cannot find the JRomManagerCLI class. Is there supposed to be JRomManagerCLI.jar on the releases page?
So, I tried extracting jrommanager-2.5.1-1.x86_64.rpm
onto the device and I was able to get at JRomManagerCLI
.
From there, I started up the interactive mode. Through pure brute force I was able to deduce that you simply pass in a path to load
to start a profile. OK:
jrm> load "/location/of/DATfile.dat"
from there I am trying to configure the other settings, but if I try to list the settings by using the command settings
I get nothing printed out. I can't seem to get a list of all the available settings.
I'm just not sure where to go from here.
Indeed wiki is not up to date and incomplete... and help command is not enough detailed
Since 2.5.0 the right alternative command is java -cp JRomManager.jar jrm.cli.JRomManagerCLI -i
Settings and Prefs only show current values that were set before, so if you start a new profile, there no settings at all, and I admit that you can't guess what's the name of the setting/pref and what's the default value for a given setting/pref CLI version was made just before web server version and most headless devices started to use immediately the server version, so until now I was not sure that anybody already tried that CLI version, I may be wrong here too...
Conclusion : I'll keep that issue open to remember to fix that for version 3.0, but keep in mind that I need to finish javafx gui first and it may still require a few months for that
In the mean time you will find a list of settings/prefs (all mixed unfortunately) in SettingsEnum.java. For the default values... well you will have to open the gui version to see what's is shown when starting with a new profile Hope this help
That is a big help, thanks! Yeah, I was searching through the code trying to find where the settings were defined to find their names.
It sounds like it might be a good idea to set up a profile ahead of time with the GUI and then use the CLI to use it at this point, which for my purposes I think is ok.
Thank you for your efforts!
