Agent

A basic starting framework for creating a tailorable, parameterized agent collection in a single console executable.

Usage

Preparation

Write your custom tasks into Agent.Tasks project, making sure to inherit from Common.TaskAgent.

Alternately, you can add your own task assemblies and reference them in the app.config of the Agent executable.

Execution

From the command line (or using the Debug > Command Line Arguments interface, for debugging of course), run your task as follows:

Agent.exe <TaskName> <param1>=<value1> <param2>=<value2> <param3>=<value3> [...]

In the example tasks provided, this would work.

Agent.exe CleanupOldDirs

If using multiple task assemblies, or even duplicated task names in different namespaces, you can also use a fully resolved type name - i.e.

Agent.exe Agent.Tasks.CleanupOldDirs

.. more coming, that's all for now. :)

Oh and it's written in in VB.NET... because this is a judgement free zone ;D
