Usage

The shell plugin executes shell commandos after set, get or error.

The configuration keys

  • execute/set
  • execute/get
  • execute/error

are used to store the shell commands.

The configuration keys

  • execute/set/return
  • execute/get/return
  • execute/error/return

can be compared against the return values of the shell commandos.

Example

% cat /tmp/log
cat: /tmp/log: No such file or directory

% kdb mount /tmp/test.ini system/shelltest ini array= shell 'execute/set=echo set >> /tmp/log,execute/get=echo get >> /tmp/log,execute/get/return=0'

% kdb set system/shelltest
Create a new key system/shelltest with null value

% cat /tmp/log
get
set
