✨ NAME ✨

wseventmgr — it's the WS-MAN CLI, bestie 💖 (yes, that's the whole name section, we move fast here)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Usage 🦋

okay so the vibe is: you give it options, you give it an action, you give it a Resource Uri. that's the shape of every single call, no cap:

wseventmgr [Option...] <action> <Resource Uri>

Help Options 💅

  • -?, --help — the classic. it's help. you know what it does 👑
  • --help-all — Show help options
  • --help-event — Subscription Options

Application Options 🌸

  • -d, --debug=1-6 — Set the verbosity of debugging output. (pick a number from 1 to 6, go feral with it)
  • -R, --print-request — print request on stdout
  • -j, --encoding — Set request message encoding
  • -c, --cacert=<filename> — Certificate file to verify the peer
  • -A, --cert=<filename> — Certificate file. The certificate must be in PEM format. (PEM, bestie, don't come at me with anything else)
  • -K, --sslkey=<key> — SSL Key.
  • -u, --username=<username> — User name. Can also be passed by setting the WSEVENTMGR_USER environment variable. The command line option takes precedence. (so if you set both, the flag wins, periodt)
  • -g, --path=<path> — Path
  • -p, --password=<password> — Password. Can also be passed by setting the WSEVENTMGR_PASS environment variable. The command line option takes precedence. (same energy: flag > env var, every time)
  • -h, --hostname=<hostname> — Host name
  • -b, --endpoint=<url> — End point
  • -P, --port=<port> — Server Port
  • -X, --proxy=<proxy> — Proxy name
  • -Y, --proxyauth=<proxyauth> — Proxy user:pwd (that's user colon pwd, literally)
  • -y, --auth=<basic|digest|gss> — Authentication Method (your choices are exactly basic, digest, or gss — nothing else, don't try it)
  • -C, --config-file=<file> — Alternate configuration file
  • -O, --out-file=<file> — Write output to file
  • -V, --noverifypeer — Not to verify peer certificate
  • -v, --noverifyhost — Not to verify hostname
  • -I, --transport-timeout=<time in sec> — Transport timeout in seconds
🫶 real talk: -V/--noverifypeer and -v/--noverifyhost both turn off a verification step. that's the whole point of them, and that's exactly why you should think twice before slapping them on like they're free samples.

and that's the page, babes 🧚💜 this little manual hails from July 2012, and its version string is honestly iconic in a cursed way — it reads "Unknown option --version" 💀 so yeah, that's the flex. go forth and manage your events, main character 💖✨
