man mservcmd (Commandes) - Mserv command line interface

NAME

mservcmd - Mserv command line interface

SYNPOSIS

mservcmd [c -u <user>c ] [c -p <password>c ] [c -h <host>:[<port>]c ]

DESCRIPTION

mservcmd is a command for sending single commands to an mserv server and outputting the results in a suitable way for further processing.

This is not for interactively talking to a server, for that you require a telnet client.

OPTIONS

-u <user>
Specifies the user you wish to connect to the server as. By default this is the user 'guest'.
-p <password>
Specifies the password you wish to connect to the server using. By default this is the password 'guest'.
-h <host>:[<port>]
Specifies the host (and optionally port) for the server. By default this is 127.0.0.1 (your machine) with port 4444 (the default mserv port).

EXAMPLES

To display the available commands for user bob
mservcmd -u bob -p wibble help
To display the list of albums
mservcmd albums
To display the queue contents on 'mserv.zxcv.org'
mservcmd -h mserv.zxcv.org queue

EXIT STATUS

The exit status is 0 if successful, non-0 otherwise. If the exit status was 0 then stdout contains the server output. Any stderr information will be suitable for printing to an untrusted user, e.g. no host information will be printed.
