Users can query Bugzilla from the command line using - this suite of utilities. -
The query.conf file contains the mapping from options to field - names and comparison types. Quoted option names are "grepped" for, so - it should be easy to edit this file. Comments (#) have no effect; you - must make sure these lines do not contain any quoted "option" -
buglist is a shell script which submits a Bugzilla query and writes the - resulting HTML page to stdout. It supports both short options, - (such as "-Afoo" or "-Rbar") and long options (such as - "--assignedto=foo" or "--reporter=bar"). If the first character - of an option is not "-", it is treated as if it were prefixed - with "--default=". -
The columlist is taken from the COLUMNLIST environment variable. - This is equivalent to the "Change Columns" option when you list - bugs in buglist.cgi. If you have already used Bugzilla, use - grep COLUMLIST ~/.netscape/cookies to see - your current COLUMNLIST setting. -
bugs is a simple shell script which calls buglist and extracts - the bug numbers from the output. Adding the prefix - "http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=" - turns the bug list into a working link if any bugs are found. - Counting bugs is easy. Pipe the results through - sed -e 's/,/ /g' | wc | awk '{printf $2 "\n"}' -
Akkana says she has good results piping buglist output through - w3m -T text/html -dump -
