| About |
| ======= |
| Impulse Shell is the command-line interface for Impulse and is intended to |
allow easy programmatic actions on systems in Impulse. |
| The shell portion of ish is a modified Python shell, so it's possible to use |
normal Python programming constructs like for, if, and list interpretations. |
This README is written in ReST. |

| Commands |
From inside of ish (start with the command 'ish')
# You can get a system by its name and it will only return a single system
>>> mysystem = System.find('thename')
# Or you can search by any parameter of an object, not just its name
# Some parameters are owner, last_modifier, type, and os_name
>>> all_my_systems = System.search(owner='myname')
>>> all_fedora_systems = System.search(os_name='Fedora')
>>> print all_my_systems
[system1, system2, system3]
>>> mysys = all_my_systems[0]
>>> print mysys.name
system1
>>> mysys.os_name
Gentoo
>>> mysys.os_name = "Fedora"
>>> mysys.put()
>>> mysys.os_name
Fedora
======== impulse-query ======== The impulse-query command is a quick way to perform a query
impulse-query -t <object type> [-p <param> <param value>]
If no params are given, it will list every object of that type. This may take some time.
