Command Line Interface

[cs_pixinsight]

I noticed the Command Line Interface prominently featured on http://pixinsight.com/features/index.html when I started trailing the software.  Now that I have purchased, I'd like to investigate this further and went looking for some documentation describing the list of commands that are possible.

I looked at the startup.scp file and it appears that a lot of standard Unix command are available.  I'm also looking for an reference material covering arguments you can pass into the modules/scripts.

Any help would be appreciated,
Craig

Hi Craig,

Enter the 'help' command to see a general description of the command line in PixInsight and a list of the commands currently available. To get extended help on a particular command, enter 'help <command>'. Unfortunately, we still have no official documentation for the CLI. Please feel free to ask anything related here.

The current command line interface is just a hint of what it is intended to be. It will be considerably extended in future versions of the PixInsight core application.

Thanks for the help (pun intended) Juan, I'll check this out.  I initial tried man command for a manual page, but alas nothing came up.  Maybe an alias for man to help in startup.scp would solve that problem.    I've been used some form of Unix for the past 15 years now, so command line and shell scripting is second nature.  Glad to see that it will be a prominent feature in PI.
