cmd_switch

Overview

cmd_switch is a versatile tool designed to manage and execute tasks dynamically based on a pre-defined JSON configuration. It allows users to easily switch between different commands, making it ideal for scenarios requiring multiple or conditional command executions.

Features

• Load JSON Configurations: Effortlessly load configurations defined in a JSON file, specifying labels and commands to execute.
• Grouping Commands: Organize related tasks into groups for better management and clarity.
• Simple Command Line Interface: Use a straightforward CLI to manage and execute tasks quickly.

Configuration

cmd_switch uses a JSON file to define tasks. Each task must specify a label and a cmd. Tasks can be grouped under a group label for better organization.

Example JSON Configuration

[
    {
        "label": "Display Current Directory",
        "cmd": "pwd"
    },
    {
        "label": "List All Files",
        "cmd": "ls -a"
    },
    {
        "group": "File Operations",
        "config": [
            {
                "label": "Create New File",
                "cmd": "touch newfile.txt"
            },
            {
                "label": "Write to File",
                "cmd": "echo 'Hello, World!' > newfile.txt"
            },
            {
                "label": "Read File",
                "cmd": "cat newfile.txt"
            }
        ]
    },
    {
        "group": "System Info",
        "config": [
            {
                "label": "Check Disk Usage",
                "cmd": "df -h"
            },
            {
                "label": "Memory Usage",
                "cmd": "free -h"
            }
        ]
    },
    {
        "label": "Echo Custom Message",
        "cmd": "echo 'This is a custom message.'"
    }
]

This configuration defines commands for displaying directory information, listing files, grouped file operations, system information checks, and custom messaging.
