[jira] [Resolved] (TS-972) traffic_line should warn if a command didn't succeed

["Leif Hedstrom (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-972?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Leif Hedstrom resolved TS-972.
------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s:     (was: sometime)

The error message on traffic_line with manager not responding has been improved in a previous commit. The first two issues are more difficult to accommodate.

I'm going to close this one for now, please open a new ticket on the reporting of modifying non-dynamic configurations via traffic_line.

> {{traffic_line}} is a handy tool to manage a traffic server instance. For example it is possible to retrieve and set configuration settings through command line like this:
> {code} 
> root@wv-tmp2:/home/at# traffic_line -r proxy.config.http.server_port ; echo $?
> 81
> 0
> {code} 
> However, some commans can be set, but aren't effective until the server is restarted, despite of ATS offering the _-x_ option to flush configuration and reread new settings:
> {code} 
> root@wv-tmp2:/home/at# traffic_line -s proxy.config.http.server_port -v 80 ; echo $?
> 0
> root@wv-tmp2:/home/at# traffic_line -x ; echo $?
> 0
> {code} 
> Trafficserver should possibly warn when setting such settings which aren't effective until the server is restarted and leave with a non-zero exit status for _-x_ in such cases. 
> Moreover {{traffic_line}} does not work at all if the manager is not running: 
> {code} 
> # traffic_line -r proxy.config.http.server_port ; echo $?
> traffic_line: Variable Not Found
> 1
> {code} 
> That's all right, but the error message shall be improved telling that. :)
