Description Jiri Belka 2013-01-28 08:27:23 UTC

Could be implemented an ovirt-shell command like 'set' to set
configuration from ovirt-shell and save it.
 
Example:
> set username = "foo@domain"
> save -a # save all runtime settings  
 
3. Aliases like in lftp client?
> alias lsvmmyvm list vms --query "name=myvm*"
> save alias lsvmmyvm  
  
Actual results:
Changing configuration of ovirt-shell is right now possible
via editing config file on filesystem directly or to invoke
ovirt-shell with specific arguments.

Expected results:
Defining alias/set and then save them from ovirt-shell
would allow a user to save configuration without need to
have direct access to config file.

this can be achieved via scripting interface, see [1].

Comment 2 Jiri Belka 2013-01-28 08:55:46 UTC

This,

'set' command to define/save configuration from ovirt-shell is useful, even more if BZ04939 would be implemented and users would have no access to filesystem to edit config and/or would not be allowed to define command args for ovirt-shell session.

Comment 3 Jiri Belka 2013-01-28 08:58:20 UTC

Sorry typo, talking about BZ904939 of course.

Closing old bugs. If this issue is still relevant/important in current version, please re-open the bug.
