Hi,
you can download ZShell 0.7 from
http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/zshell
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.
It's a very powerful tool which can possibly destroy your
ZODB's contents when not used correctly: You've been warned.
Actually no security assertion is made in some methods, which
are: restart, shutdown, lrole and pack. Other methods will
work or exit with a message, depending on your current privileges.
Actually 47 commands similar to that of a standard Unix shell are
recognized (only 38 Work, the last 9 are only skeletons, see below)
New features:
- Command mkuf added.
- Skeleton for commands added:
suckfs, find, locate, replace, grep, passwd,
domains, roles, history
Just for people to know what will happen one day ;-)
- Some code commented out in the hope to finally solve
the problem many have encountered (except me !)
- Commands that don't need shell expansion mechanism
don't use it anymore.
- A bug when using a zshell.css stylesheet was corrected.
- about command output changed.
Please report any problem you may encounter because I think the bug many
encountered is now closed thanks to Godefroid Chapelle, but I really want
to be sure to reactivate some other parts I've deactivated temporarily.
Thanks in advance.
