Given the limited screen real estate, not all of the commands returned content is displayed to the screen. In other words, details are truncated on display. Command input/output logging needs to be enabled so that all the operations and times for the operations is logged to a file of the users choosing. The file destination should be changeable from the settings command page.
The summary fields for a service, if defined, will be set in the cli config. When displaying back to the screen only the summary fields will be displayed. We may also want to be able to set field exclusions for any output destination, some fields may just not be suitable for display. finally, when directing to a file we may want to be able to specify a CSV format be used for easy import into a spreadsheet.
Added support for file export in revs 4557 and 4567 with the new class Exporter. The class allows for results to be exported to a CSV file or a plain text file with the text being in tabular format. An instance of this class is made available to scripts as an implicit variable named exporter. Some examples of usage can be found at http://www.jopr.org/confluence/display/JOPR2/Running+the+Jopr+CLI#RunningtheJoprCLI-Exporter
