parameter for shell-cmd action

[JensH]

Hi Jean-François,
would it be possible to implement parameters for the action "shell-cmd"?
For example:

<action type="shell-cmd" cmd="/opt/linknx/scripts/script1.sh"  param-text="something"/>
<action type="shell-cmd" cmd="/opt/linknx/scripts/script2.sh"  param-object="some_linknx_object"/>

The first type would just handover "something" to the shell as %1.
The second version could handover the name of the object (i.e. "some_linknx_object" ) as %1 and the VALUE of the object as %2.

Is this feasible/ reasonable?
Thanks, best Regards, Jens

PS.: thanks for releasing the 1.28 - will compile & test ASAP.

Hi,

It seems you are lucky because that's something I added in 0.0.1.28.

<action type="shell-cmd" cmd="/opt/linknx/scripts/script1.sh something" />
 <action type="shell-cmd" cmd="/opt/linknx/scripts/script2.sh ${some_linknx_object}" var="true" />

The same kind of things is supported in email or sms. Add parameter var="true" and use ${object_id} to insert object value.

Regards

Jean-François

Hi Jean-François
cool!
I was asking, because I had the netsrac-question (blind control…reset to previous value) in mind. But since you have done it also for mail  - I will use it as well.
I mainly send mails to me for testing purposes, before I bring a function "into production" - and my family complains…:-)

Any other hidden features, other eastereggs?? ;-)

Thanks again, best Regards, Jens

Do you think you could wait until easter before I tell you? LOL

I'll try to document everyting on the wiki soon.
