new command line option : -config

voidabhi commented 10 years ago

The idea is to bundle arguments which are rarely changed by the user. And storing these bundles as key value pairs in a file.

$ postman -html template.html -text template.txt -csv recipients.csv \
    -sender "Zaphod Beeblebrox <zaphod@beeblebrox.com>" \
    -subject "Hello, World!" -server smtp.beeblebrox.com -port 587 \
    -user zaphod -password Betelgeuse123

Instead of this we can have..

$ postman -html template.html -text template.txt -csv recipients.csv \
    -sender "Zaphod Beeblebrox <zaphod@beeblebrox.com>" \
    -subject "Hello, World!" -config beeble

Where beeble is the key to the bundle of required configuration.

Agreed! Really like this idea. As always, PRs are welcome. If not, I'll try to get to implementing this when I have a chance. Maybe sometime this weekend.
