command line feature request

[nsrderooy]

Hi, first of all thanks for this tool.

I would like to make a (few) feature request(s) for the command line options

I think it would be helpful if these features are added

--list-benchmark lists all benchmarks useful for --run-benchmark or --skip-benchmark --run-benchmark 'all' to run all benchmarks instead of just one --synchronize Synchronize before starting --upload synchronize after generating report or running benchmark --accept accept uploading report to server without confirmation

also for the GUI it would be nice to have a button to run all benchmarks at once.

Thanks in advance.

Thanx for feedback, it's much appreciated.

You have some good suggestions and also show that our explanations could be better.

Where to find help for params: hardinfo2 --help man hardinfo2 https://hardinfo2.org/userguide - FAQ and params

Missing CLI params: -l --list-benchmarks lists all benchmarks

Missing GUI params: -a --accept 0/1 start gui, sync info at startup, run all benchmarks and submit benchmarks (argument: close program: 0/1)

Help for the other situations mentioned: To run all benchmarks in CLI: avoid adding the -b switch - default is all benchmarks run.

To Synchronize in CLI at startup, run all benchmarks and submit your benchmark without any further actions needed: hardinfo2 -r -u 1

The skip one benchmark might not be needed - it can be done by running a sequence of singles instead (positive list)

To run all benchmarks in GUI, press the synchronize button.

Testing new feature - Group Benchmark Feature - WIP To benchmark a group of your machines from GUI or CLI and get only those shown on https://hardinfo2.org.

CLI run on all machines: hardinfo2 -r -u MyUniqueUserNote go to web page: https://hardinfo2.org/benchcompare?u=MyUniqueNote

GUI start program like hardinfo2 -u MyUniqueUserNote and press the synchronize button in GUI. go to web page: https://hardinfo2.org/benchcompare?u=MyUniqueUserNote

UserNote: may consists of letters and numbers

Please provide feedback and ideas to this new group benchmarking feature. Problem I see is that your benchmarks could easily be "polluted" by others... But that is also a nice feature - that a group of people all use the same usernote tag and compares against each other. Still they might want to could erase one unwanted from group.... - Ideas are welcome..

Thanks for the feedback I checked both the man page and --help but initially focust on the --help option. But now I see that there are discrepancies between the man page and the --help option;

man page

   -b, --run-benchmark
         run a specific benchmark eg. -b 'FPU FFT'  (Default all benchmarks runs when generate report)

--help

-b, --run-benchmark run single benchmark eg. -b 'FPU FFT' (Default all Benchmarks runs)

The --help is actually not true or I might not understand it correctly, as it shows this error;

hardinfo2 --run-benchmark

Unrecognized arguments. Try ``hardinfo2 --help'' for more information.

also the man page is missing the -w, --very-verbose show all details

[nsrderooy]

Sorry, wrong button...

[hwspeedy]

Thanx, yes we need to clean up more and make "params" user experience better, so good to start a discussion, thanx.

-b is to run a single benchmark - normally not needed.

try: hardinfo2 -b 'FPU FFT' and if you have graphical display: hardinfo2 -b 'GPU Drawing'

Some alignment between the 3 places to get params help:

man page - add -w: https://github.com/hardinfo2/hardinfo2/commit/a2b943993c46a8d84dccd85d3bbb7343ab85b8da

userguide - add -w: https://github.com/hardinfo2/server/commit/a5e84cfc765687f34593cbd6e8c97fe7e095fa1d
