Feature request: support enable/disable from the cli

[mhorowitz]

This way, I can write a wrapper around ssh which enables the key so I don't need to mess with the menu. This could be done with an applescript hook, and some sample osascript invocations somewhere.

One way to solve this temporarily until I code something is using a stupid apple script to send the global hotkey, like this:

$ cat ~/bin/yubiswitch-toggle
tell application "System Events"
    keystroke "y" using {command down, option down}
end tell
[Exit code 0 @ 11:42:39]

assuming you are using command-option-y it toggles the yubikey status off and on.

Long term solution is to have the application expose am XPC service that enables callers to toggle key on and off, then write a CLI Object-C tool that can call the service. It's explained here:

Writing a standalone cli tool seems awfully heavyweight. Why not just provide a scripting hook? I'd look up stuff in the docs, but developer.apple.com seems to be 404ing for everything right now.

i'm pretty n00b with objective-c, yubiswitch was basically the occasion to start learning something about it. i'll look more at the developer site.

I found this:

Who Should Read This Document

This document is intended for developers who want to make their Cocoa applications scriptable or > who need to know more about how Cocoa applications interact with AppleScript and Apple events."

I'll release a new binary shortly.
