FOSSology Advancing open source analysis and development |
These command line utilities are helpful for sysadmins automating certain FOSSology tasks.
These commands have man pages:
| cp2foss | Copy files to a FOSSology server, and run analyses. |
|---|---|
| fossjobs | Queue up a FOSSology analysis job. |
| fosslic | Deprecated: Perform a bsam license analysis on single files. |
| nomos | Perform a license analysis on a single file. |
| fo_notify | Email notification. |
The following are probably only useful for developers. These don't have man pages but you can get their usage message with -h:
| fossology-scheduler | FOSSology scheduler. |
|---|---|
| ununpack | File unpacker. Unpacks zips, tars, bz2, … |
So what if you want to send a fossology server a file to do a license analysis on? First you need to change the fossology module so that it doesn't require authentication. Change:
class agent_nomos_once extends FO_Plugin {
...
/** For anyone to access, without login, use: **/
// public $DBaccess = PLUGIN_DB_NONE;
// public $LoginFlag = 0;
/** To require login access, use: **/
public $DBaccess = PLUGIN_DB_ANALYZE;
public $LoginFlag = 1;
To:
class agent_nomos_once extends FO_Plugin {
...
/** For anyone to access, without login, use: **/
public $DBaccess = PLUGIN_DB_NONE;
public $LoginFlag = 0;
/** To require login access, use: **/
// public $DBaccess = PLUGIN_DB_ANALYZE;
// public $LoginFlag = 1;
Now you can use wget to return a license:
wget --post-file i2c-htv.c http://myfossologyserver.com/?mod=agent_license_once
