hello,

I followed your wiki http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/CLI, and everything works quite good in an ovirt shell. Yet, I'd like to pass a command in a single line without being in the shell like this : #> ovirt-shell -l "http://ouragan.abes.fr:8080/api" -u "admin@internal" -p 'azerty' list vms according to your wiki.

this is planned feature - yet not supported, see [1], at the moment you can invoke commands only via script using -f/--file options [1] http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/CLI#TODO_list

but I have this issue : error: syntax error

Welcome to oVirt shell

[oVirt shell (disconnected)]#

So I tried with a file like this :

[root@ouragan ~]# ovirt-shell -c -l "http://ouragan.abes.fr:8080/api" -u "admin@internal" -p 'azerty' -f test Usage: ovirt-shell [options] ovirt-shell [options] command...

ovirt-shell: error: no such option: -f

I use ovirt-engine-cli-2.1.3 version from stable release.

this feature available only at 3.1.0.1, i'll ask to upload rpms to ovirt repo, in general you can see all available options by: ovirt-shell --help

Tahnks for your help
