How do you feel about making a change to the "parsers" & "unparsers" so that they always read their input on STDIN and output on STDOUT? Advantages: - remote administration... the caller of the parser can read the file from a remote computer and pipes it to the parser. Parsers do not need to know how to read remote files Disadvantages: - parsers cannot work with multiple files possible workaround: for configuration files with "includes", output it as an "external" node - parsers can't run external commands to implement changes Jason |
