Enable (not start) a Plugin from Shell/Commandline

[Pecadis]

Hi everyone,

i'm not sure if that's the right place but i am currently struggling to find any sources which can explain how i can enable a plugin rather than just restart it with the configctl tool.

I would appreciate any input on that.

Thanks

Hi,

We do not have command line tools that manipulate the state of /conf/config.xml for plugins. You can only operate services within the constraints set by config.xml from the GUI.

Hi Franco,

thank you for your feedback. That's at least a point i can work with =).

Hi Pecadis,

Having said this a short wrapper for editing config.xml might do what you want... worst case in PHP directly using the code. If you need help with that please let me know.

Hi Franco,

thanks for your offer, but i think that is easy to handle, basically just some File manipulation. A dedicated tool for that would be much more convenient. Wouldn't that be a nice feature? maybe called "opnsense-plugin enable xxx"

Isn't this just a single API call (for most of the plugins)?
