Hi, I'm pleased to announce the availability of ZShell 1.0pre2. ZShell is an external Zope method which allows you to manipulate the ZODB using standard unix shell's commands from within Zope's Management Interface in your web browser. ZShell is licensed under the GNU General Public Licence, with some clarifications of my own concerning it's use with Zope. You can download it from: http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/zshell/ Every time I want to go into "feature freeze" mode, then I add new funny commands ! New features are: ================= * The su command: - allow people to execute ZShell commands as another user. If the user isn't a Manager then the correct user's password is needed. - Doesn't allow multiple commands, and su state is not preserved from one launch to the other: You have to do multiple su for that. * The export command: - can export many objects at a time. - can't export to local machine because of a bug in Zope 2.3.2 and my lazyness to get around it. * The nipltd command (not a joke): - search phrases in NIP Ltd Zope's mailing list archive. * The shell wildcards expansion mechanism is now thread safe, thanks to Toby Dickenson. I'm still waiting for feedback from people who use ZShell with virtual hosting, either successfully or not. Since we are at making SourceForge projects, is there somebody seriously interested in having a CVS access to ZShell's sources ? What other important commands do people need in ZShell ? (except for permissions listing and setting, which I already know) Hoping you'll find it useful. Jerome Alet - alet@unice.fr
