Build Awesome Command-Line Applications in Ruby
Some command-line applications save time and are a joy to use. Others just make
you want to tear your hair out. David Copeland has written a guide to writing the
kind of command-line apps that will make your users want to hug you. From
providing a humane command-line interface, to being self-documenting, to integrating seamlessly with the rest of the command-line universe—this book will
show you how to take your scripts from adequate to awesome.
➤ Avdi Grimm

This book proves that text mode is not the just the domain of batch scripts and
glue code. Beyond the extensive survey of current Ruby CLI tools, David brings
an unmatched focus on user experience and testing. Every full-stack developer
should learn how to build the kinds of apps covered in this book.
➤ Wynn Netherland

This well-written book teaches ideas that are really important: that Ruby is a
powerful language for writing command-line tools; that CLI tools, unlike GUI tools,
can be combined in an infinite number of ways; that the effort required to automate
small recurrent tasks pays off; and that there are time-tested best practices for
succeeding with command-line tool development. Not only are the scripts in this
volume awesome, so is the book.

Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are great for a lot of things; they are typically
much kinder to newcomers than the stark glow of a cold, blinking cursor.
This comes at a price: you can get only so proficient at a GUI before you have
to learn its esoteric keyboard shortcuts. Even then, you will hit the limits of
productivity and efficiency. GUIs are notoriously hard to script and automate,
and when you can, your script tends not to be very portable.
This is all beside the point; we are software developers, and we write programs.
What could be more natural than using code to get our work done? Consider
the following command sequence:
> cd ~/Projects/cli
> vi chapter2.md
While these two commands might strike you as opaque, they are a highly
efficient means of editing a file.
For most of my career, the command line meant a UNIX shell, like bash. The
bash shell provides some basic built-in commands, as well as access to many
other standard (and nonstandard) commands that are shipped with any UNIX
system. These commands are single-purpose, require no user interaction,
and come with easy-to-use (but hard-to-learn) user interfaces. These attributes
let you piece them together in a near-infinite number of ways. Automating
sophisticated behavior, performing complicated analysis, and parsing a myriad
of text files can be done easily and expediently. This was life for me early on
in my career. And it was good.
Then, in the mid-1990s, as Java grew in popularity, the idea of stringing
together UNIX command-line utilities to get things done came to be seen as
archaic. Java programs eschewed simple text-based configuration and filebased input/output (I/O) for complex hierarchies of XML driven by RPC and
HTTP I/O. This allowed for very sophisticated systems to be built, and GUI
tools sprang up to abstract away the complexity of building and configuring
these systems. Even the act of writing and building code got swallowed up

by ever more complex integrated development environments (IDEs). The
simplicity of the command line was starting to get lost.
The problem is, there are too many tasks that don't fit the model of these
tools; it's just too darn easy to go out to the shell and get things done. So,
while I never bought into the concept that IDEs and sophisticated GUI tools
were an advancement of the command line, I made peace with the facts of
life and settled into a comfortable pattern: Java was for "real" code, and the
command line (along with Perl and Ruby) was for automation, one-off scripts,
and other things that helped me get repetitive things done quickly.
In the mid 2000s, I started to take notice of Ruby, Rails, and the amazing
community built up around these tools. To my surprise (and delight), almost
everything was command-line driven. Dynamic languages like Ruby don't
lend themselves too well to IDEs (some even argue that an IDE makes no
sense for such languages), and the burgeoning developer community wasn't
on the radar of any top-tier tool makers. The community embraced the command line and created command-line applications for everything. Although
Perl had been doing this for years, this was the first time I'd noticed such a
strong embrace of the command line in the "post-Java" world.
What was more interesting was the taste and polish put into these commandline apps. Most featured a full-blown help system, often with command-based
navigation of features, but still stayed true to the "UNIX way" of simplicity
and interoperability. Take gem, for example. It's the command used to install
other Ruby apps and libraries into your system:
$ gem help
RubyGems is a sophisticated package manager for Ruby. This is a
basic help message containing pointers to more information.
gem -h/--help
gem -v/--version
gem command [arguments...] [options...]
gem install rake
gem list --local
gem build package.gemspec
gem help install

Further information:
This is just a small part of the very complete documentation available, and
it's all there, right from the command line. It's clear that a lot of thought was
put into making this tool polished; this was no one-off, hacky script. Much
like the design philosophy of Ruby on Rails, there was clear care given to the
user experience of the programmer. These tools aren't one-off scripts someone
pieced together; they are made for "real" work.
What this told me was that the command line is far from the anachronism
that Java tool vendors would have us believe; it's here to stay. The future of
development won't just be manipulating buttons and toolbars and dragging
and dropping icons to create code; the efficiency and productivity inherent
to a command-line interface will always have a place in a good developer's
tool chest. There are developers who demand polish and usability from their
command-line tools, and there are developers who are interested in delivering
That's what this book is about: delivering awesome command-line applications
(and how easy it is to do so in Ruby). It's for any programmer who wants to
unlock the potential of a command-line interface but who also wants to create
a polished and robust application with a real user interface that is easy to
grasp and use.
How This Book Is Organized
In the next ten chapters, we'll discuss every detail of command-line application
development, from user input, program output, and code organization to error
handling, testing, and distribution. We'll learn about this by building and
enhancing two example applications. Over the course of the book, we'll make
them better and better to learn what an awesome command-line app is. We'll
see that Ruby makes it very easy to do, thanks to its great syntax and features,
as well as several open source libraries.
The first thing we'll learn—in Chapter 1, Have a Clear and Concise Purpose,
on page 1—is what sort of applications are right for the command line. We'll
then learn—in Chapter 2, Be Easy to Use, on page 13—the nuts and bolts of
making an awesome application that's easy for both users and the system to

interact with. That chapter is all about the user interface of command-line
apps and introduces the two main styles of app: a simple UNIX-like style and
the more complex "command-suite" style, as exemplified by commands like
git or gem.
In Chapter 3, Be Helpful, on page 33, we'll learn how to provide excellent help
and usage documentation; command-line apps are harder to discover and
learn compared to GUIs, so this is one of the most important things to get
right. We'll follow that up with Chapter 4, Play Well with Others, on page 53,
where we'll learn how to make our apps interoperable with any other system.
At this point, we'll know how to make a good command-line app. Chapter 5,
Delight Casual Users, on page 71 is where we take things to the next level
and learn how easy it is to add polish to our apps. We'll continue this trend
in Chapter 6, Make Configuration Easy, on page 89, where we'll learn how to
make our apps easy to use for users with many different tastes and preferences.
Chapter 7, Distribute Painlessly, on page 101 will cover everything you need
to distribute your application with RubyGems so that others can use it (we'll
also cover installation in tightly controlled environments where RubyGems
isn't an option).
In Chapter 8, Test, Test, Test, on page 117, we'll learn all about testing command-line apps, including some techniques to keep your tests from making
a mess of your system. With the ability to test our apps comes the ability to
refactor them so they are easier to maintain and enhance. Chapter 9, Be Easy
to Maintain, on page 141 will cover some conventions around code organization,
as well as some design patterns that are most useful to command-line apps.
We'll finish by pushing the envelope of what command-line apps should do
in Chapter 10, Add Color, Formatting, and Interactivity, on page 153. We'll learn
all about colored, formatted output, as well as interacting with the user using
Many open source libraries and tools help make command-line apps in Ruby.
We'll look at some of them, such as OptionParser, GLI, and Cucumber, in great
detail. But you don't have to limit yourself to just these tools. Appendix 1,
Common Command-Line Gems and Libraries, on page 175 will go over many of
the other popular libraries so you can use the best tool for you.

Who This Book Is For
• xiii
Who This Book Is For
This book is aimed at both developers and system administrators who have
some familiarity with Ruby and who find themselves automating things on
the command line (or who wish they could).
• If you're a developer who finds yourself faced with automation tasks but
aren't familiar with the various conventions and techniques around the
command line, this book will help you. A problem you might have is the
maintenance of a "quick hack" script you wrote that has lived long past
its prime. This book will give you the tools and techniques to make your
next script longer-lived, polished, and bulletproof…all without spending
a lot of time on it.
• If you're a sysadmin, you might find shell scripting limiting or frustrating.
If you're pushing bash to the limit in your automation tasks, this book will
open up a whole new world for you. Writing command-line apps in Ruby
is also a great way to really learn Ruby and become a better programmer,
since you can apply it directly to your day-to-day tasks.
What You'll Need
The only thing you'll need to follow along is a Ruby installation and a UNIXlike shell. Ruby 1.9.2 or greater is recommended; however, the examples
should work fine with 1.8.7 (we'll let you know if there's an important difference you need to be aware of). If you download the code from the book's
website,1 you'll notice at the top of the archive is a Gemfile. This should contain
a list of all the gems you need to run the example apps, and you can use this
file, along with Bundler,2 to install everything in one step. If you don't know
what any of that means, don't worry; the book will tell you when to install
any needed gems. If things aren't working right, you can use the Gemfile to see
which versions of gems I used when writing the book.
For writing command-line apps and following along with the examples, Mac
and Linux users just need a text editor and a terminal or shell application
(I'm assuming you'll have Ruby installed already; most Linux distributions
include it). I highly recommend that you use RVM3 and create a gemset for
the examples in this book. RVM allows you to install any version of Ruby

alongside your system version and to isolate gems from one another, which
is very handy when learning new technologies.
For Windows users, the examples and code should work from the command
prompt; however, you might have a better experience installing Cygwin4 or
MSYS5 and using one of those for your shell. If you haven't installed Ruby,
the easiest way to do that is to use the Ruby Installer.6 For the most part,
everything in this book is compatible with Windows, with the exception of the
• For apps with the suffix .rb, you will need to associate the file extension
with Ruby. You should be able to do this when running the Ruby Installer.
For apps that have no suffix, assuming you've set up the association to
the .rb extension, you will need to run the app via the ruby command, like
c:\> ruby my_app.rb
To simplify things, you could create a .bat file to wrap this up:
@echo off
ruby my_app.rb %*
The %* ensures that all the command-line parameters you give to your
.bat will get passed along to your app.
• Aruba, the tool we'll be using to run acceptance tests of our commandline apps, is not well supported on Windows at the time of this writing.
We'll cover this in more detail when we get to the chapter on testing, which
is Chapter 8, Test, Test, Test, on page 117.
Other than that, if there's something a Windows user will need to do a bit
differently, we'll point it out, but generally speaking, things work well on both
UNIX-like platforms and Windows.
Conventions Used in the Book
There are three important things to know about the layout and conventions
used in this book: the level of background knowledge you'll need on Ruby,
UNIX, and OO; the way we'll work with code; and where testing fits into all

Ruby, UNIX, and Object Orientation
Since this is a book about writing command-line apps in Ruby, you're going
to need to know a bit about the Ruby language and the UNIX environment.
We've kept the code examples as clear as we can so that even with a passing
familiarity with Ruby and UNIX, you'll be able to follow along.
Later in the book, we'll start to use more of the object-oriented features of
Ruby, so knowing what classes and objects are will be helpful. Again, we've
kept it as simple as we could so you can focus on the tools and techniques
without getting distracted by some of Ruby's more esoteric features.
If you're very new to Ruby or just want to brush up, please consider the Ruby
Koans7 and the "Pickaxe Book" (Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide [TFH09]).
It's also worth pointing out that this book is about code. There is a lot of code,
and we'll do our best to take each new bit of it step by step. Much of the code
in this book will be from two example applications that we'll enhance and
improve over time. To point out new things that we're changing, we'll use a
subtle but important callout. Consider some Ruby code like so:
if !filename.nil?
File.open(filename) do |file|
file.readlines do |line|
puts line.upcase
We might want to change that if to an unless to avoid the negative test.
➤ unless filename.nil?
File.open(filename) do |file|
file.readlines do |line|
puts line.upcase
Do you see the arrow next to the new unless statement? Look for those every
time there's new code. Occasionally, we'll introduce a larger change to the
code we're working on. In those cases, we'll call out particular lines for reference, like so:

① Here we define a new method named upper_case_file.
② We check for nil here, so we don't get an exception from File.open.
③ Finally, we uppercase the line we read from the file before printing it with
The Ruby community loves testing; test-driven development is at the heart
of many great Ruby applications, and the community has a wide variety of
tools to make testing very easy. We'll even be looking at some in Chapter 8,
Test, Test, Test, on page 117. We won't, however, be doing much testing until
then. While you should absolutely test everything you do, it can be somewhat
distracting to explain a concept or best practice in the context of a unit test,
especially with some of the unique features and challenges of a commandline application.
So, don't take the lack of testing as an endorsement of cowboy coding.8. We're
omitting the tests so you can take in the important parts of making an awesome command-line application. Once you're comfortable with these best
practices, the information we'll discuss about testing will leave you with all
the skills you need to test-drive your next command-line app.

This book started as part of the Pragmatic Programmers' "PragProWriMo,"
which isn't much more than some budding authors posting their daily writing
stats to a forum10 every day during the month of November. This book is very
different from the 170 pages I produced in November 2010, but I wrote almost
every day, proving that I could actually produce a book's worth of material
and that writing command-line applications in Ruby was a large enough
topic to fill a book!
I had no particular plans to do anything with the manuscript I wrote, but
when Travis Swicegood, author of Pragmatic Version Control with Git [Swi08],
posted in the forum that his PragProWriMo manuscript had been accepted
for development, I thought I'd submit mine as well. So, while Travis wasn't
the inspiration for the material in this book, he certainly was the inspiration
for turning this material into a book.
There are a lot of people to thank, but I have to start with my wife, Amy, who
has been amazingly supportive and encouraging. She even let me install Ruby,
vim, and Cygwin on her Windows laptop for testing.
I'd like to thank my editor, John Osborn, for his patience and advice as well
as for inadvertently giving me a crash course in technical writing.
Next, I'd like to thank all the technical reviewers who gave me invaluable

Have a Clear and Concise Purpose
You need to solve a problem. It might be that you need two systems to talk
to each other that weren't designed for it. Or you may need to run some
automated yet complex task periodically. Or, you may want to build simple
productivity tools to help you work. This is where the command line shines,
and these are the kinds of problems you'll learn to solve in this book.
Although it may seem obvious that a focused, single-purpose app is more
desirable than one with a "kitchen sink" full of features, it's especially
important for command-line apps. The way in which command-line apps get
input, are configured, and produce output is incredibly simple and, in some
ways, limiting. As such, a system of many single-purpose apps is better than
a system of fewer (or one) complex apps. Simple, single-purpose apps are
easier to understand, are easier to learn, are easier to maintain, and lead to
more flexible systems.
Think of your command-line tasks as a set of layers: with the basic foundation
of the standard UNIX tools, you can create more complex but still focused
command-line apps. Those can be used for even more complex apps, each
built on simpler tools below. The popular version control system git follows
this design: many of git's commands are "plumbing" and are not intended for
regular use. These commands are then used to build "porcelain" commands,
which are still simple and single-purpose but are built using the "plumbing."
This design comes in handy because, every once in a while, you need to use
the "plumbing" directly. You can do this because git was designed around
tools that each have a clear and concise purpose.
This chapter will set the stage for everything we'll be learning in the book.
We'll look at two common problems and introduce two command-line apps
to solve them. As a means of demonstrating more clearly what we mean by
having a "clear and concise purpose," each problem-solving app will get an

iteration in this chapter. The first version of each app will be naive and then
quickly revised to be more single-purpose, so we can see firsthand the level
of function we want our apps to have.
Problem 1: Backing Up Data
Suppose our small development team is starting work on our company's
flagship web application. This application is heavily data-driven and highly
complex, with many features and edge cases. To build it, we're going to use
an Agile methodology, where we work in two-week "sprints." In each sprint,
we'll have a list of "user stories" representing the work we're doing. To officially
complete a user story, we'll need to demonstrate that story functioning
properly in a shared development environment.
To be able to demonstrate working features, we'll have a set of databases with
specially chosen data that can simulate all of our edge cases and user flows.
Setting up this data is time-consuming because our app is complex, so even
though this data is fake, we want to treat it like real production data and
back it up. Since we're constantly changing the data as we work, we want to
save the state of each database every single day of the current iteration. We
also want to keep a backup of the state of each database at the end of every
iteration. So, if we're on the fifth day of our third iteration, we want to be able
to access a backup for iterations 1 and 2, as well as backups for the first four
days of the third iteration.
Like with most teams, at our company, we can't rely on a system administrator
to back it up for us; we're a fledgling start-up, and resources are limited. A
command-line app to the rescue! We need an app that will do the following:
• Do a complete dump of any MySQL database
• Name the backup file based on the date of the backup
• Allow the creation of our "end-of-iteration" backup, using a different
naming scheme
• Compress the backup files
• Delete backups from completed iterations
Let's take a quick stab at it. We'll set up a Hash that contains information
about all the databases we want to back up, loop over it, and then use Ruby's
backtick operator to call mysqldump, followed by gzip. We'll also examine the
first argument given to our app; if it's present, we'll take that to mean we
want to do an "end-of-iteration" backup. Here's what our initial implementation
looks like:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
databases = {
:big_client => {
:database => 'big_client',
:username => 'big',

:small_client => {
:database => 'small_client',

end_of_iter = ARGV.shift
databases.each do |name,config|
if end_of_iter.nil?
backup_file = config[:database] + '_' + Time.now.strftime('%Y%m%d')
backup_file = config[:database] + '_' + end_of_iter
mysqldump = "mysqldump -u#{config[:username]} -p#{config[:password]} " +
`#{mysqldump} > #{backup_file}.sql`
`gzip #{backup_file}.sql`
If you're wondering what's going on the very first line, see Shebang: How the
System Knows an App Is a Ruby Script, on page 4. Notice how we use ARGV,
which is an Array that Ruby sets with all the command-line arguments to
detect whether this is an "end-of-iteration" backup. In that case, we assume
that whatever the argument was should go into the filename, instead of the
current date. We'd call it like so:
=> creates big_client_20110103.sql.gz
=> creates small_client_20110103.sql.gz
db_backup_initial.rb iteration_3
=> creates big_client_iteration_3.sql.gz
=> creates small_client_iteration_3.sql.gz
There are a lot of problems with this app and lots of room for improvement.
The rest of the book will deal with these problems, but we're going to solve
the biggest one right now. This app doesn't have a clear and concise purpose.

• Chapter 1. Have a Clear and Concise Purpose
Shebang: How the System Knows an App Is a Ruby Script
Compiled programs include information in the executable file that tells that operating
system how to start the program. Since programs written in a scripting language,
like Ruby, don't need to be compiled, the operating system must have some other
way to know how to run these types of apps. On UNIX systems, this is done via the
first line of code, commonly referred to as the shebang.a
The shebang starts with a number sign (#), followed by an exclamation point (!), followed by the path to an interpreter that will be used to execute the program. This
path must be an absolute path, and this requirement can cause problems on some
systems. Suppose we have a simple app like so:
puts "Hello World!"
For this app to work on any other system, there must be a Ruby interpreter located
at /usr/bin/ruby. This might not be where Ruby is installed, and for systems that use
RVM (an increasingly high number do so), Ruby will never be available in /usr/bin.
To solve this, the program /usr/bin/env, which is much more likely to be installed at that
location, can be used to provide a level of indirection. env takes an argument, which
is the name of a command to run. It searches the path for this command and runs
it. So, we can change our program to use a shebang like so:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
puts "Hello world!"
This way, as long as Ruby is in our path somewhere, the app will run fine. Further,
since the number sign is the comment character for Ruby, the shebang is ignored if
you execute your app with Ruby directly: ruby my_app.rb.
http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)
It may appear to—after all, it is backing up and compressing our databases
—but let's imagine a likely scenario: adding a third database to back up.
To support this, we'd need to edit the code, modify the databases Hash, and
redeploy the app to the database server. We need to make this app simpler.
What if it backed up only one database? If it worked that way, we would call
the app one time for each database, and when adding a third database for
backup, we'd simply call it a third time. No source code changes or redistribution needed.
To make this change, we'll get the database name, username, and password
from the command line instead of an internal Hash, like this:

Problem 2: Managing Tasks
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
database = ARGV.shift
username = ARGV.shift
password = ARGV.shift
end_of_iter = ARGV.shift
if end_of_iter.nil?
backup_file = database + Time.now.strftime("%Y%m%d")
backup_file = database + end_of_iter
`mysqldump -u#{username} -p#{password} #{database} > #{backup_file}.sql`
`gzip #{backup_file}.sql`
Now, to perform our backup, we call it like so:
db_backup.rb big_client big big
=> creates big_client_20110103.sql.gz
db_backup.rb small_client small "p@ssWord!"
=> creates small_client_20110103.sql.gz
db_backup.rb big_client big big iteration_3
=> creates big_client_iteration_3.sql.gz
db_backup.rb medium_client medium "med_pass" iteration_4
=> creates medium_client_iteration_4.sql.gz
It may seem like we've complicated things, but our app is a lot simpler now
and therefore easier to maintain, enhance, and understand. To set up our
backups, we'd likely use cron (which is a UNIX tool for regularly scheduling
things to be run) and have it run our app three times, once for each database.
We'll improve on db_backup.rb throughout the book, turning it into an awesome
command-line app. Of course, automating specialized tasks is only one use
of the command line. The command line can also be an excellent interface
for simple productivity tools. As developers, we tend to be on the command
line a lot, whether editing code, running a build, or testing new tools. Given
that, it's nice to be able to manage our work without leaving the command
Problem 2: Managing Tasks
Most software development organizations use some sort of task management
or trouble-ticket system. Tools like JIRA, Bugzilla, and Pivotal Tracker provide
a wealth of features for managing the most complex workflows and tasks, all
from your web browser. A common technique when programming is to take
a large task and break it down into smaller tasks, possibly even breaking
those tasks down. Suppose we're working on a new feature for our company's

flagship web application. We're going to add a Terms of Service page and need
to modify the account sign-up page to require that the user accept the new
terms of service.
In our company-wide task management tool, we might see a task like "Add
Terms of Service Checkbox to Signup Page." That's the perfect level of granularity to track the work by our bosses and other interested stakeholders, but
it's too coarse to drive our work. So, we'll make a task list of what needs to
be done:
Add new field to database for "accepted terms on date."
Get DBA approval for new field.
Add checkbox to HTML form.
Add logic to make sure the box is checked before signing up is complete.
Perform peer code review when all work is done.
Tracking such fine-grained and short-lived tasks in our web-based task
manager is going to be too cumbersome. We could write this on a scrap of
paper or a text file, but it would be better to have a simple tool to allow us to
create, list, and complete tasks in order. That way, any time we come back
to our computer, we can easily see how much progress we've made and what's
next to do.
To keep things single-purpose, we'll create three command-line apps, each
doing the one thing we need to manage tasks. todo-new.rb will let us add a new
task, todo-list.rb will list our current tasks, and todo-done.rb will complete a task.
They will all work off a shared text file, named todo.txt in the current directory,
and work like so:
$ todo-new.rb "Add new field to database for 'accepted terms on date'"
Task added
$ todo-new.rb "Get DBA approval for new field."
Task added
$ todo-list.rb
1 - Add new field to database for 'accepted terms on date'
2011-06-03 13:45
2 - Get DBA approval for new field.
2011-06-03 13:46
$ todo-done.rb 1
Task 1 completed
$ todo-list.rb
1 - Add new field to database for 'accepted terms on date'
2011-06-03 13:45
Completed: 2011-06-03 14:00
2 - Get DBA approval for new field.

Problem 2: Managing Tasks
We'll start with todo-new.rb, which will read in the task from the command line
and append it to todo.txt, along with a timestamp.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
new_task = ARGV.shift
File.open('todo.txt','a') do |file|
file.puts "#{new_task},#{Time.now}"
puts "Task added."
This is pretty straightforward; we're using a comma-separated-values format
for the file that stores our tasks. todo-list.rb will now read that file, printing out
what it finds and generating the ID number.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
File.open('todo.txt','r') do |file|
counter = 1
file.readlines.each do |line|
name,created,completed = line.chomp.split(/,/)
printf("%3d - %s\n",counter,name)
: %s\n",created)
unless completed.nil?
Completed : %s\n",completed)
counter += 1
Finally, for todo-done.rb, we'll read the file in and write it back out, stopping
when we get the task the user wants to complete and including a timestamp
for the completed date as well:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
task_number = ARGV.shift.to_i
File.open('todo.txt','r') do |file|
File.open('todo.txt.new','w') do |new_file|
counter = 1
file.readlines.each do |line|
name,created,completed = line.chomp.split(/,/)
if task_number == counter
puts "Task #{counter} completed"

counter += 1
`mv todo.txt.new todo.txt`
As with db_backup_initial.rb, this set of command-line apps has some problems.
The most important, however, is that we've gone too far making apps clear
and concise. We have three apps that share a lot of logic. Suppose we want
to add a new field to our tasks. We'll have to make a similar change to all
three apps to do it, and we'll have to take extra care to keep them in sync.
Let's turn this app into a command suite. A command suite is an app that
provides a set of commands, each representing a different function of a
related concept. In our case, we want an app named todo that has the clear
and concise purpose of managing tasks but that does so through a commandstyle interface, like so:
$ todo new "Add new field to database for 'accepted terms on date'"
Task added
$ todo new "Get DBA approval for new field."
Task added
$ todo list
1 - Add new field to database for 'accepted terms on date'
2011-06-03 13:45
2 - Get DBA approval for new field.
2011-06-03 13:46
$ todo done 1
Task 1 completed
$ todo list
1 - Add new field to database for 'accepted terms on date'
2011-06-03 13:45
Completed: 2011-06-03 14:00
2 - Get DBA approval for new field.
2011-06-03 13:46
The invocation syntax is almost identical, except that we can now keep all
the code in one file. What we'll do is grab the first element of ARGV and treat
that as the command. Using a case statement, we'll execute the proper code
for the command. But, unlike the previous implementation, which used three
files, because we're in one file, we can share some code, namely, the way in
which we read and write our tasks to the file.

Rooftop HVAC equipment:
This article describes rooftop mounted HVAC systems - rooftop air conditioners, rooftop heat pumps, and rooftop heating equipment.
We describe types of roof-mounted HVAC equipment and common inspection points, operating problems, and repair approaches. At page top is a roof mounted swamp cooler or evaporative cooling system on a private home in Tucson.
Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2017 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved.
Rooftop mounted central air conditioning systems may include both the cooling unit (evaporator coil, blower fan, filters) and the compressor/condenser unit in one package. At above right is a complex of roof-mounted AC/heat pump systems on a Christchurch, New Zealand high rise building roof. These units may be a bit crowded as well as blown-on by the building's ventilation system openings at the upper right of the image.
At above left is a flat-roof mounted commercial cooling system located in New York.
Rooftop mounted central cooling systems may be smaller packaged systems which blow their cool air down directly into the cooled space through an opening in the roof, drawing return air from a nearby location, or the rooftop cooling system may be connected to duct work which in turn blows down into multiple building areas to deliver cool air, drawing return air from one or more centralized returns.
In many commercial installations, the entire area over a suspended ceiling may serve as one giant return plenum through which pass the supply ducts, delivering air to individual supply registers.
While the list above describes the common components of a typical residential air conditioning system, other configurations and packaged units are also in increased use in both residential and commercial installations.
Alternative HVAC designs may combine all components except for the duct work in a rooftop mounted unit such as the one shown above where it was mounted on a flat roof over offices at a commercial building.
The outdoor compressor/condenser unit of split-system air conditioners and heat pumps is also commonly mounted on rooftops, especially flat or low-slope roofs such as the unit shown at left.
Installation requirements for rooftop-mounted split system compressors / condenser units include both a service disconnect (circled in our photo) and often additional measures to assure that the unit is properly padded to avoid damage to the roof membrane, and to assure that the unit is properly levelled.
IN our OPINION, where rooftop mounted split system condenser units are exposed to high temperatures system operating efficiency and costs may be affeted.
Details are at SPLIT SYSTEM AIR CONDITIONERS & HEAT PUMPS
These photographs show what happens when a rooftop packaged-terminal air-conditioning air handler
(PTAC) and horizontal runs of air-ducts are installed on a roof surface and when that air duct system is improperly sealed and also is lined with fiberglass insulation.
Water ponded on the old, concave sections of air conditioning ducts on the roof of this commercial office space. As water leaked into the duct system it saturated fiberglass duct liner which in turn, had its normal coating of organic dust and debris from the building, risking an indoor mold or pathogen problem for some of the occupants.
The cure for these duct leaks was costly: it was determined that it was less costly to completely replace the rooftop ducts with new metal ducts using outside insulation than it would have been to remove the contaminated fiberglass liner, clean the existing ducts, repair the leaks, and insulate their exterior. The work was combined with other building HVAC cleaning and repairs.
Common inspection points & functional issues around rootop-mounted HVAC equipment include:
Shown above, support system for rooftop air conditioners / heat pumps mounted on a metal roof in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Is it wise and/or possible to put the compressor for a multi split unit in the attic of a home?
OPINION: I can't say if it's wise or not. It's more stunning. Normally the compressor/condenser is placed outside where it exchanges heat with outdoor air. IN an attic putting the compressor condenser unit in such a location would be very unusual and probably not work.
(July 28, 2014) DE said:
Is it possible to move a roof mounted HVAC unit from the roof to a platform adjacent to the house? The roof has been leaking where the unit has been mounted & we'd like to know if we can move the unit to prevent further damage.
Yes if you are talking about a refrigerant based system, but depending on the type of system you are moving the cost could be considerable. For example if the rooftop unit includes the blower assembly.
Rooftop swamp coolers are usually designed to work just in that location.

Licensure. Heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers are required to be licensed by some States and localities. Requirements for licensure vary greatly, but all States or localities that require a license have a test that must be passed. The contents of these tests vary by State or locality, with some requiring extensive knowledge of electrical codes and others focusing more on HVACR-specific knowledge. Completion of an apprenticeship program or 2 to 5 years of experience are also common requirements.
In addition, all technicians who purchase or work with refrigerants must be certified in their proper handling. To become certified to purchase and handle refrigerants, technicians must pass a written examination specific to the type of work in which they specialize. The three possible areas of certification are: Type I—servicing small appliances; Type II—high-pressure refrigerants; and Type III—low-pressure refrigerants. Exams are administered by organizations approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, such as trade schools, unions, contractor associations, or building groups.

"At Least it's Not Snowing"
Started off the day early in Calgary, on the road by 6:15. It was cold and overcast, and even at that hour it took us over an hour to get out of the city with traffic. It seemed to take forever to get to Strathmore, just 50 short kilometers away. J's knee was bugging her, and over lunch V convinced J to get it checked out at the local hospital. By this point it had started to rain (as per usual) and we got a little chilled en route. The hospital turned out to be very efficient, and J had x-rays, spoke to the doctor, and received a prescription for anti-inflammatories within an hour and a half. An inflamed IT band was the culprit of the pain, and we're both relieved that there's nothing structurally wrong. Meanwhile, V sat with the bikes in the entryway to the ER and had a great time chatting with people. It was like being in a James Herriot novel, but with short stories about people instead of pets: a man who'd been to the Arctic, a woman who was expecting her first baby, and so on. We left the hospital around 2:30 and by the time we filled the prescription and bought supplies it was almost 4pm - late in the day to continue on, but we did anyway. It was raining harder - an icy, biting, stinging, frigid, bone-chilling rain. Even with all of our layers we were cold, and the relentless wind just kept driving it into our faces. In these conditions it's hard to think about anything except how cold it is, and how much farther the campsite is, and how we're possibly going to get warm when we get there. You can imagine how grateful and relieved we were when around the 90 km mark a truck pulled over and the driver, Jared, asked us if we'd like a ride. A week ago, this would've felt like a cop-out. Now, we realize that accepting help along the way is necessary to keep our sanity intact. Not only did Jared drive us directly to our destination campsite in Brooks, but he left us with a DELICIOUS snack of baklava (Thank You Jared for everything!!!). We pitched our tent, cooked some KD, dried out some gear in the bathroom and are heading to bed around 10pm. This day feels like at least three days in one! Warm, dry feet can never be overrated.

–Can you share a little bit about what you're working on now or what's coming next?
I'm editing GODDESS OF THE MOON, the sequel to MIND GAMES, a Diana Racine Psychic Suspense. This series takes place in New Orleans. A baby has been kidnapped, and Diana's lover, Lieutenant Ernie Lucier, brings her into the case to see if she has any vibes about who took the baby. There's a lot of mythology in this one, so it was fun to do the research.
–When you're writing, who's in control, you or the characters?
Definitely the characters. They come first, fully formed and dressed, then the plot. I know who they are when I start a book. I know where I want to go. I don't know what they'll do to get me there. I create what I hope will be an interesting character, then ask myself what this character most fears. I'm drawn to psychology, so I love writing damaged characters. I don't know what that says about me, but in books I find them more interesting—to read and to write.
–Who are your favorite authors, the ones you read when you should be doing something else? Why do they appeal to you?
Different ones for different reasons. I love Dennis Lehane because he's such a good writer. His stories are dark and his endings aren't always happy, but he crafts such a good story that I'm hooked from the beginning. I like Karin Slaughter's totally original Will Trent character, so I'll read all the books with him in it. James Lee Burke offers a writing lesson with each book. He's one of the only writers who can put you in the scene due to his vivid literary description. That's rare. Michael Connelly and Daniel Silva are two more writers I admire. There are lots more, but those are some of my favorites.
–Promotion is a big—and usually the most hated—part of being a writer. Can you share a little bit about how you promote?
There's a fine line between promoting yourself and your book and overkill to the point that you turn people off. I hope I don't do the latter. I have an author page on Facebook and use it to announce free days or a good review, but I don't do it often. I have a regular page where I post other things that interest me or things that are going on in my life. I don't do that to excess either. I do tweet but mostly retweet other author's announcements. There's where you have to be careful you're not overdoing it. Some writers have turned me off with their robo-tweets because there's no interaction. They never retweet, so after a while I ignore them. It really is a give and take on Twitter. Most writers are very generous.
–What do you consider the single most satisfying aspect of being a writer?
Not having to get dressed every day. Okay, a bit of humor. Kind of. Seriously, I love being able to fantasize. When I was younger, I thought of an acting career. This is the next best thing. I can be all my characters and write their dialogue. That's the most fun of all.
–Where do you find inspiration for your writing?
Inspiration usually comes with an idea for a character and goes from there. In my case a blind psychologist and a deaf cop, a man who spent 15 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, a high-class call girl who wants to leave the life, until she's forced to go back to work or go to prison, a psychic who is the target of a serial killer who is psychic. Once I get those characters, I run with the story.
–What are major themes or motifs in your work? Do your readers ever surprise you by seeing something else in your stories than you think you wrote?
One or more of my characters usually cross some ethical line. What does that mean? Things aren't always black or white. What tempts a usually law-abiding person to do something s/he would never do unless the situation forces her/him to do it? I like obstacles. I have had readers say something about a character I never thought of. It is eye-opening, but I chalk it up to the fact that not everyone will see things the way I see them. Or don't see them, as the case may be.
–What are your thoughts on the standard writing advice, "write what you know"?
I like to write what I don't know, although what I know sneaks in there. I've learned a lot by writing outside my personal box. I do think if an author has a specific specialty or career and can use that in his/her books, all the better. That makes the story more realistic. I owned a store once, and one of my books has a character who owns a store like I had. But that's the only time I really used my life specifically in a story.
–How do you classify yourself as a writer? Fiction or non-fiction?
I write genre fiction. Mystery and romantic suspense, mainly. MIND GAMES is a thriller. I'd like to think all my books are page-turners. That's what writers want readers to do. Turn the pages because they can't wait to see what happens.
–Have you bought an e-reader? What is your overall impression of electronic publishing?
Since I'm published on Kindle, I bought a Kindle. I should say my son bought it for me. I love it. Not only have I downloaded some terrific books, I can put mine on there and read them before I publish. It's much easier to catch mistakes on the "small screen."
–Are you in a critique or writing group? If so, how does it work and specifically how do the members help your writing?
I have two wonderful critique partners. Both offer different points of view and have different strengths. I value them and don't know what I'd do without them. With one, we exchange 20 pages every two weeks by email. We've never missed in over three years. The other reads the book and edits it when I'm finished. She's amazing and has forgotten more about writing than I'll ever know.
–Any books on writing you have found most helpful? Or classes you've taken?
I have a stack of writing books. Chris Roerden's Don't Murder Your Mystery is a book that should be on every writer's shelf. On Writing by Stephen King and The First Five Pages by Noah Lukeman are both dog-eared.

My Announcement brought in a nice initial batch of clueful affiliates.
Of course, many factors (item sold, commission rate, etc.) go into whether a program will be successful, so YMMV.

MANILA, Philippines – Soon, women will have their own pink urinals.
An official of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) yesterday said there were also plans to put up toilets for women along Edsa following the establishment of urinals for male drivers.
MMDA General Manager Robert Nacianceno said women's restrooms, which would be situated underneath footbridges on the major thoroughfare, was one of the agency's proposed projects for this year.

Do you meal plan? It's a great way to save money because you have a plan for what you're going to cook each week. This allows you to make one trip to the grocery store each week, instead of nightly which can add up quick. You know you'll have all you need on hand to make some delicious and healthy meals. I love to cook and thanks to Pinterest, I have access to thousands of amazing recipes I may otherwise never have come across.
Each weekend, I put together a list of what I'll be cooking the following week for my family. Each Monday, I'll be sharing these meals with you to help me stay organized and prepared and also I hope it helps you get some yummy new recipe ideas! My extended family gets together for at least one or two family dinners a week so I've only planned 5 meals knowing that the other two nights will likely not require me cooking. Â Feel free to use all of my meal plan, or just the recipes that sound good to you.
Thanks to all the great sites linked below for their delicious recipes!

You might want to double check your route the next time you get driving directions from your smartphone. The BBC reports that a glitch in the Apple iPhone maps app recently resulted in some people driving directly onto the runway of an Alaskan airport. Fairbanks International Airport had to shut down an access road normally used by local pilots after at least two motorists steered their vehicles right onto the runway. "They drove right across the runway to get to the terminal," Fairbanks resident Dermot Cole told BBC Radio 5. "Luckily there's been no accidents and no planes were landing." Apple has fixed the app, but declined to comment on the glitch.
As envisioned by science-fiction writers and futurists, the next generation of computers is smaller, faster and stronger. The Wall Street Journal reports that researchers at Stanford University have created the first working computer constructed entirely from carbon nanotube transistors. Composed of ultra-pure carbon, the transistors top the list of new materials being investigated as replacements for silicon transistors. Made from sheets of carbon just one atom thick and rolled into tubes 10,000 times thinner than a human hair, they are exceptional at conducting electricity and heat, and at absorbing and emitting light. "This shows that you can build working, useful circuits out of carbon nanotubes and they can be manufactured reliably,"said Stanford electrical engineer Max Shulaker.
The number of medically sanctioned euthanasia deaths in the Netherlands just keeps rising. As reported in The Montreal Gazette, the commission that oversees assisted suicide in the Netherlands says cases increased by 13 per cent from 2011 to 2012, marking the sixth consecutive year of increases. Physician-administered euthanasia for terminally ill people was legalized in 2002. In 2012, 4,188 euthanasia deaths were recorded – roughly 3 per cent of all deaths in the Netherlands. In 2006, the number was 1,923. In a report published last week, the commission said the reasons for the increase could not be determined with certainty, but most health experts attribute it to a growing awareness of the practice among doctors and patients.

Mazda's sexy MX5 has been given the full metal-top treatment as the RS Coupe concept car displayed at the Tokyo Auto Salon early this year.
According to overseas reports, the RS Coupe (pictured) is destined for production and sale in Japan, with the possibility of limited exports. Officially, Mazda says the RS Coupe is still a concept, although reports suggest the button has been pushed and the car will be on sale before long.
Most convertibles are the result of carefully cutting the roof off an existing coupe, but the MX5 was designed from the outset as a convertible.
Now, after more than 10 years of open-air driving, the cute roadster, which is known as the Miata in Japan, will adopt a fully integrated metal roof. The addition of the hardtop is intended to expand the appeal of the relatively basic, well-styled convertible, which has been praised for its traditional front-engine, rear-drive layout that provides competent sports car dynamics.
Based on the current model, second-generation MX5, the RS Coupe features the same basic mechanicals, interior and front styling as the popular convertible. However, the rear adopts a smoother look that flows into a restyled boot. Apart from a look that some have likened to an Aston Martin DB7, the shape is said to be more aerodynamic, which will lead to a higher top speed.
The solid roof and redesigned boot also liberate a lot more space.
Underneath is the regular car's variable-valve-timing 1.8-litre four-cylinder, which makes a modest 106 kilowatts (kW) of power, providing zippy rather than outstanding performance when combined with the lightweight two-door frame.
Suspension is likely to be retuned to allow for the changed dynamics and variation in weight between the softtop and hardtop. But on the whole, Mazda's Japanese engineers are said to be keen to ensure the character of the original is not lost. No doubt some owners will say it should have remained a convertible.
Whether the RS Coupe makes it to Australia is undecided; Mazda Australia was not even aware it was slated for production, indicating the chances of Australian sales are slim. Still, a company spokesman said Mazda Australia makes a decision on each vehicle as it becomes available.
If the hardtop MX5 goes ahead, it won't be the first to make the switch from a soft to a hard roof. BMW's Z3 roadster was also a purpose-built softtop that spawned a metal-roofed sibling in the form of the M Coupe, which was sold here in limited numbers. BMW has not announced if it will build a replacement for the M Coupe.
Porsche is also believed to be working on its own factory hardtop version of the purpose-built Boxster softtop, which is expected to arrive in a few years. In Melbourne recently, Drive spotted a Porsche Boxster that was in the process of having a metal roof fitted by a keen owner.
For Porsche and Mazda, the Boxster and MX5 have been sales successes, tempting new buyers and, in Mazda's case, helping carry the brand through the dull and boring products that emerged throughout the 1990s.
In some ways the Mazda RS Coupe will fill the shoes of the original RX7, which was seen as an afforable, fun sports car. In the 1990s the RX7 grew in size and performance, in the process pricing itself out of reach of many buyers.

Except for the progressive jackpot this game has only one special feature and that is the free spins round. You need at least 3 scatter symbols to get 15 free spins with x 3 multiplier. I even managed to get 30 free spins because during the first spin, while in the feature, I have landed 3 crystal ball scatter symbols. At the end of the round I did not win a lot. I got around 40 x bet, and it was a time consuming. I felt frustrated a bit, since I got so many empty spins with no win at all.
When it comes to the progressive jackpot, which I believe is very difficult to win. You need 20 Elven Princess symbols during the free spins. This means if all the reels are covered with the same symbol the jackpot is yours.I like this game and I would recommend it to anyone. This game does not have only the jackpot to offer. There is a nice game play and regular payouts which make this game to be one of my favourite.

Unanswered: Open Report Using a Forms Filter - and Sort
I am using the code below to open a report based on the filter of a form
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptCustomers", acViewPreview, , Me.Filter
users may filter for a particular company, then sort by date
how can I also open the report to be sorted the same as the form is?
Thanks! - AB

Well....I suppose you could utilize the Report's OpenArgs parameter and the Report's OrderedBy property. Maybe try this:
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptCustomers", acViewPreview, , Me.Filter, ,"your OrderedBy String"
Then in the OnOpen event of your Report you could have something like this:
If Len(Me.OpenArgs) > 0 Then Me.OrderedBy = Me.OpenArgs Me.OrderedByOn = True End If

The problem i'm having at this point is that I am trying to get information from /var/log/maillog that is almost 2M in size. From there, I get a core dump, however, if I try to run the program with the path of /var/log/messages (about 230k in size) the program works fine. Any ideas?
