💅 c8y — c8y devices services delete (yes that's the manual name, don't @ me)

okay bestie so you want to delete a service on a device in Cumulocity using c8y and you opened the manual page and it's giving "wall of flags." don't panic. i got you. it's literally just "yeet a service" with a whole lot of inherited options riding along 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

c8y-devices-services-delete — Delete service. that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

c8y devices services delete [flags]

short, sweet, iconic. 👑

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

It deletes an existing service. no cap, that's what it does. bye bye service 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --device=[] — Device id (required for name lookup). so if you're gonna reference the service by name instead of id, you gotta tell it which device to look at, bestie. 💖
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for delete. the classic. 🍼
  • --id=[] — Service id or name (required) (accepts pipeline). required, so like... you literally have to pass it. and yes it eats piped input 🍓
  • --processingMode="" — Cumulocity processing mode. whatever mode you're in, it's valid. ✨

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

okay this is the long part but every single one matters, so buckle up buttercup 💅

  • --abortOnErrors=10 — Abort batch when reaching specified number of errors. default is 10, so it bails after ten oopsies. 💀
