Quickest way to write a command line Taurus client

# 4 years ago
giacomos	Hello. I need to write, for test purposes, a simple command line client to read multiple attributes and Tango commands, exploiting Taurus multi threaded framework. The application should poll the attributes (or read the commands) with a custom period. In the example usage below, I used "->" to indicate commands. ./tauruscli sys/tg_test/1/double_scalar sys/tg_test/2/double_scalar sys/tg_test/1->DevDouble(10.0) my/device/x->MyCommand(0,100) […] –period 1000 Thanks, Giacomo

sergi_rubio	Hi Giacomo, In fandango (get last sources from github), it would be like: `#> fandango/scripts/tango_monitor your/device/name/attribute your/other/device/state period=3000` This script will show up any incoming events and, in absence of them, a periodic polling at 3 seconds.

Carlos	Hi Giacomo, First of all, note that taurus does not yet have the concept of "commands". Therefore, Taurus does not provide any optimization regarding tango commands. That said, a simple approach for attrs would be this The command monitoring could be added by periodically executing the commands, but as I said, taurus would not add any advantage for that over a pure tango approach.
