Docs: Updating Commands

[jamesbraza]

Hello openopc2 team! Firstly, thank you for making this, I just came across you today.

Can you please update a few things in your docs:

• examples/commands.ps1 uses python -m opc, but I think this is now python -m openopc2
• README.md has python -m openopc2 servers, but I think this is now python -m openopc2 list-servers
• CLI.md doesn't include list-servers

Thank you in advance!

Hi James,

thank you for your inputs. Your suggestions are 100% correct.I am on holidays for a while, no ide here, but if you make a pull request I will merge it.

cheers

Hi @renzop, when I get the gateway service working, I will then feel comfortable to open a PR to fix these.

Any thoughts on removing examples/commands.ps1, as it's gone stale? We have README.md and CLI.md, imo there's no need for a third source of example commands.

Hi,

Ok great, let me know when you struggle wit the OpenOpc service.

What would you like more, config of openopc service via environment variables (as done now, legacy from old open ops) or via yaml or toml file. ( what we are planning to do )

Just for curiosity, what do you do with openopc2.

Cheers

Hello @renzop! I work on a research team in a biotech company. There are some genome-engineering relevant industrial instruments that expose OPC DA for communications. We need to programmatically control these instruments from Python using OPC DA.

I started using OpenOPC-Python3x, and got it to mostly work for local-only I/O. However, I ran into https://github.com/ya-mouse/openopc/issues/24 and https://github.com/ya-mouse/openopc/issues/25 today, so I find myself here seeing if cross-platform multi-machine systems are possible. It really seems like the answer is yes!

What would you like more, config of openopc service via environment variables (as done now, legacy from old open ops) or via yaml or toml file. ( what we are planning to do )

To be honest, they all are fine with me. I automatically provision my machines with Ansible, so I can create toml/yaml files, or set environment variables. Why not offer all three of them? 🤓

I have two other suggestions:

• Make an issue on https://github.com/ya-mouse/openopc advertising your library as the successor fork (I didn't know this library existed until today)
• The README.md has a typo in "Multi plattform installation" section title, it should be "platform"
