Take args that mongo tools take

[kchodorow]

E.g.,

options: --help produce help message -v [ --verbose ] be more verbose (include multiple times for more verbosity e.g. -vvvvv) --version print the program's version and exit -h [ --host ] arg mongo host to connect to ( /s1,s2 for sets) --port arg server port. Can also use --host hostname:port

// less important: --ipv6 enable IPv6 support (disabled by default) -u [ --username ] arg username -p [ --password ] arg password -d [ --db ] arg database to use -c [ --collection ] arg collection to use (some commands)

When running the --username and --password options, I was thinking that it would be good to collect the more sensitive information using getpass instead of having it echoed on the command line: http://docs.python.org/library/getpass.html

[kchodorow]

Good call.

[samantharitter]

Should auth information be provided in the command line at all? Would it be better to prompt for this information if, when the program tried to connect to the given db, it required authentication?

[kchodorow]

I'd much rather have you work on https://github.com/kchodorow/logl/issues/6 than get all the extra command line opts working.

[samantharitter]

As of now, the program handles the following arguments correctly: --help --port --host (and --host hostname:port) --verbose, -v(v)(v) --version --db, -d --collection, -c

Are these features enough for now?

[kchodorow]

Yeah, definitely.

[samantharitter]

Can I temporarily close this issue? Or is it better to leave it open?

[kchodorow]

Close it, I'll make a different issue for extended options.

It would be great if this had a link to the other issue that was opened. I search for authentication and found this as the only ticket. Would be handy to have a link to https://github.com/10gen-labs/edda/issues/16
