I think it's beneficial to print out the environment variables but only
for the options that are used in the command.
Kedar, what is reasoning behind leaving out the environment variables?
In v2, the environment variables are printed with the --echo option.
Instead of adding a new commands, "getoptions" and "setoptions" for the
default values in multimode, is it possible to use the "export" command
and make the default values as the environment variables in multimode.
e.g.
$asadmin --host localhost --port 4848 --user admin --echo true multmode
asadmin>export
AS_ADMIN_HOST=localhost
AS_ADMIN_PORT=4848
AS_ADMIN_USER=admin
AS_ADMIN_ECHO=true
asadmin>version --verbose true
....
To change the default value, use export command:
asadmin>export AS_ADMIN_USER=foobar AS_ADMIN_PORT=8484
asadmin>version --verbose true
To change generic option w/o modifying the environment varialbe:
asadmin>version --echo false --verbose
Will this work?
