#8 Please add command-line switches

[Dean Householder]

It would be great if PSM had some command-line options to do backups and restores of all session entries. I currently manage 220+ sessions and need to share them with teammates. We are constantly adding new servers and have to manually sync them via Export and Synchronize functions.

It would be great if PSM supported an option to do command-line backups such as:
PuTTY Session Manager.exe -exportall -autoname -csv C:\Sessions\ The -autoname could tell PSM to name a file in the specified directory something like "Putty Session Manager Export [YYYY-MM-DD].csv"

Also it would be great if PSM could do command-line restores (sync's) such as:
PuTTY Session Manager.exe -sync C:\Sessions\Putty Session Manager Export 2011-01-19.csv

If I could do this, I could set up an automatic job to do exports to a shared folder and another automatic process to import them daily on each machine.

Currently, I've hacked together an AutoHotKey script to do automatic exports, but it fails when the tray icon disappears or is hidden behind the fold. I'd like a reliable way to do this, please!

Sincerely,
Dean Householder

Hi

Thanks for the request - I like this idea so I will probably create a console application that is packaged with PSM that supports this feature.

I'll get back in touch when I have a prototype if you want to do some beta testing !?

Kind Regards
David

I would be happy to test. Just reply when it's ready.

Thanks!
