[vtysh] Never skip authentication, and add support for multiple -c commands
2006-07-27 Andrew J. Schorr <ajschorr@alumni.princeton.edu>
* vtysh.1: Document new options -d and -E, and note that now multiple
-c options may be supplied, with embedded linefeed now supported.
In BUGS section, remove warning about vtysh causing a daemon
to freeze, since this has been fixed.
* vtysh_main.c: (usage) Add new -d and -E options. And note that
-c can be used multiple times, possibly with embedded linefeeds.
(longopts) Add new -d and -E options.
(main) Add new -d and -E options, and create a linked list to
support multiple -c options. Do not call vtysh_connect_all until
after vtysh_read_config(config_default) and vtysh_auth have
succeeded. This prevents the vtysh.conf file from configuring
any daemons, and it ensures that authentication has been passed
before we send any commands to any daemons. Call vtysh_connect_all
with any daemon name supplied with -d. If it is unable to connect
to any daemons, issue an error message and exit immediately.
When used in -c mode, call vtysh_execute("enable") before
executing the commands in order to match interactive behavior.
And detect embedded linefeed chars in -c commands and break them up
appropriately.
* vtysh.h: (vtysh_connect_all) Fix proto to reflect new
daemon_name argument, and that it now returns an integer -- the
number of daemons to which we were able to connect.
* vtysh.c: (vtysh_connect_all) Add a new daemon_name argument.
If supplied, connect only to that daemon. And return
the number of daemons to which we were able to connect.
(vtysh_prompt): Performance enhancement -- make struct utsname
static so we call uname to get the hostname only once.
