cya mydata - expand / autocomplete profile names

Well that would make things easier. However it would also eliminate the safety check. I'll look into this feature.

[cspaniard]

"safety checks" are strange, since us humans tend to go around them ;). If you have, let's say, 5 profiles (just a few).... more than likely you will end up getting the list with

$ grep -i mydata_ /home/cya/cya.conf
MYDATA_johnfiles="/home/john/ /mnt/wd-password/john/"
MYDATA_johnwd="/home/john/ /mnt/wd-password/john/"
MYDATA_johnnas="/home/john/ /nas/john/"
MYDATA_maryfiles="/home/mary/ /mnt/wd-password/mary/"

and then, copy & paste the name you are after...

IMHO, this copy & paste and expanding automatically end up with the same result with the same "safety check"... is it really that dangerous from a human mistake point of view ?

Just a thought

[cleverwise]

That is how I was thinking of doing it. A list function rather than tab. I personally like listing the directories as that is the safety check rather than hitting tab to auto fill a profile. It seems the list is a good blend of both. :-)

Nice... maybe for sake of simplicity

cya mydata [enter]

could return the list...

What do you think ?

[cleverwise]

Yeah that would work.

Okay 2.3.1+dev/2.4 will list available profile names.

My initial tests executing

cya mydata

yields the result

☀ Cover Your Ass(ets) v2.3.1 ☀

ACTION ⯮ Backing Up Your User Data

{ERROR} No such backup profile

Available backup profiles:

Although technically true, the fact of not providing a profile was done on purpose to get the list.

Should I be getting an error message ? In order to get the list, it is what I am supposed to do. Why the error?

I understand that if a profile was provided and it does not exist, the error should be displayed. However, no profile was provided in order to retrieve the list.

[cleverwise]

Fair enough. I modified 2.3.2 to display "Please specify a backup profile" instead of an error.

Works as expected
