Hello,
I was looking at the simfactory (python) wiki (is that the most up-to-date place to find information?) and I found a few problems.
1) I tried the command
simfactory/bin/sim list-machines ranger
and the result is the whole list of machines. Shouldn't it output only the data for ranger?
2) The command print-machine seem non-existent:
Cactus> simfactory/bin/sim print-machine Error: unknown command print-machine Aborting Simfactory.
3) If I say:
simfactory/bin/sim --remote-machine=ranger execute ls
the reply is:
sim.py: error: no such option: --remote-machine
4) What is the version of the command:
simfactory/bin/sim list-configurations
that lists the available configurations on a remote machine?
5) What is the version of the command:
simfactory/bin/sim build [<configurationname>] --thornlist=<thornlist>
that lists the available configurations on a remote machine?
Cheers, Luca

The list-machines command currently lists all machines in the machine database. It should also probably either:
a) complain if you give it a machine name as an extra command. b) only list machines which match the pattern of the name you give.
2) The command print-machine seem non-existent:
Cactus> simfactory/bin/sim print-machine Error: unknown command print-machine Aborting Simfactory.
You probably want print-mdb-entry.

Try:
simfactory/bin/sim --remote ranger execute ls

simfactory/bin/sim --remote ranger list-configurations

I'm not sure what you mean by this, but assuming you want to build on a remote machine:
simfactory/bin/sim --remote ranger build [configuration] --thornlist=<thornlist>
The help text in SimFactory (sim --help) is probably the most up-to-date source for the available commands.

Hi Ian,
sim --help explains that the syntax for --remote is
--remote=<machine>
but this is not correct, right? How can I correct this documentation?
I also tried to update the README_FIRST.txt file, but I don't have permission. Here is the diff.
svn diff

You can override mdb entries and defines via the commandline. To override the mdb, you use --mdbkey <keyname>

As with most GNU command line tools, you can use either
--remote=<machine>
or
--remote <machine>
i.e. the "=" is optional. What you originally said you tried, and what you cannot do, is to write
--remote-machine <machine>
So the documentation is correct already.
