Brian Ehrmantraut (our Chief Simpleton) is running an internal project to fix all of this. His goal is to figure out which rc_toggle_basic commands people actually use, and document them.
Dave forces my hand here - I was in the midst of composing a note to toasters on this very subject.
The short of it is - I am currently talking with our engineers, our CS staff, our SEs, and our customers to find out what commands in the rc_toggle_basic morass they find useful in filer management. We will in some as-yet-unspecified release be cleaning up the command structure, and documenting and supporting the useful commands.
One obvious concern on redesigning command UIs is breaking scripts, so we are especially interested in knowing which rc_toggle_basic commands people have built into scripts.
And to this end, I'd like to ask a favor of you all - could you please take a moment to send me off a short note with a list of the rc_toggle_basic commands you need supported. Please also note which ones you use in scripts. Send your note to me directly - I will summarize the results to toasters if enough interest is indicated.
Thanks,
Brian A. Ehrmantraut Chief Simpleton
