→‎Generic Library for scripted checks
Mailing list discussion: http://lists.wpkg.org/swish.cgi?query=ideas+for+features&metaname=swishtitle
Info: A Component'''WPKG.Utility''', a COM-based utility library to support external scriptsscripted 'Execute' checks.
Tired of writing scripts to support custom 'checks' in WPKG and then ?<br>Tired of writing parameter parsers for each and every one of them?<br>
This is a prototype script library based in a .WSC wsc (Windows Scripting Component) file that can be included into aims to reduce your script files typing to simplify the process of designing custom checksminimum.
It provides a skeletal framework to consolidate and collect useful functions for administrators. You can trim down your code and write your tests to a simple standard for re-usability and sharing with others.2 resources;
The WSC file contains a rough-* A way to consolidate and-ready command-line collect useful functions for administrators.* A simple parser and semi-automated parameter checks with options framework to debug code, trap errors develop reusable 'in-the-fieldscriptlets' and help build up a unified library of WPKG checks. ...and only takes one line in your scripts to implement!
It's a work in progress.
Features include;
* Simple parsing of command-lines to validate custom parameters.
* A growing collection of inbuilt built-in helper routines. (I'm adding things slowly!)
* A simplified approach for less experienced admins.
* All code is written in JScript to allow you to customise maintain compatibility with WPKG if you wish.js.* Examples Illustrations of 'less used' techniques.* ... being optimised as you read :-)
