Hello all,

Two  things.

1. If you are interested in ISPDirector development, please join the 
group ispdirector-dev on google groups.
http://groups.google.com/group/ispdirector-dev/

I would like not to discuss too much on this list to avoid confusion.


2. One of the design goals of this project which was in the wishlist of 
ispman was to have a backend and frontend (SOAP/REST/etc)
The reason would be something like.
 a) utility developers dont have to know or have to care about the rest
 b) another frontend can be written with any language of choice etc.

I am going with this goal in mind and trying to avoid whatever I can to 
get there.

As I mentioned, the core (the provisioning part) is written so far in php.
For the CLI part it might be perl/python whatever.

I have written a quick cli tool in perl which you can download and 
execute on your own machine without installing anything from ispdirector.
http://ispdirector.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/clients/perl/ispdc.pl

You can run this POC (Proof Of Concept) tool with the following.
perl ispdc.pl listusers

perl ispdc.pl showuser user_id=4

This will actually talk to demo.ispdirector.net over standard http and 
get the data back in JSON and will convert it to perl and will do 
whatever is needed.

best regards
