Users can query Bugzilla from the command line using this suite - of utilities. -
There are a suite of Unix utilities for querying Bugzilla from the + command line. They live in the + contrib/cmdline + directory. However, they + have not yet been updated to work with 2.16 (post-templatisation.). + There are three files - query.conf, + buglist and bugs.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" -

It supports both - short options, (such as "-Afoo" or "-Rbar") and long options - (such as "--assignedto=foo" or "--reporter=bar").

The column list 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, grep for COLUMNLIST + in your cookies file 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 bugs is a simple shell script which calls + buglist and extracts the + bug numbers from the output.
