[Gluster-users] [Gluster-devel] Proposal for third party sub commands for Gluster CLI

[Nandaja Varma]

Hey Aravinda,

I think this would be a really useful feature. This would make CLI more flexible and easy for the feature developers to integrate their feature to glustertool. 

+1. Looking forward to seeing this feature in action. 

Cheers,
N.

Hi,

As many of you aware, git supports external subcommand support which
enables users to extend the functionality around git.

Create a shell script "git-hello" as below and place it anywhere in
system(should be available in $PATH)

     #!/bin/bash
     echo "Hello World"

Make this script executable, (chmod +x /usr/local/bin/git-hello)

This can be executed as `git-hello` or `git hello` (Other example is
git-review tool, can be executed as git-review or git review)

Similarly we can have sub command support for Gluster CLI. If any
script/binary available in PATH env with the name gluster-<CMD> can be
executed as `gluster <CMD>`

Let me know what you guys think about this feature. I am also planning
to add this feature to
glustertool(https://github.com/gluster/glustertool)

Aravinda
