drush

Are you using or thinking about using Nagios to do system monitoring and are curious at options for monitoring information about your drupal site? Consider using drush to create the custom commands in Nagios.

Hi, may I inquire about (or request) support for running Drush scripts referenced by absolute path names, or fed from STDIN under Unix? This is to facilitate scripting in a common Unix manner. Eg, something like this:

I'd like to start a dialog here about what is slated to be in Drush 4.0, as the HEAD release is 4.0-dev.

Can anyone tell me what the 'pm' stands for in all the 'pm-...' Drush commands? It is also used as a filter.

Dave Hall Consulting has teamed up with with Sven Creative to present an intensive 2 day workshop which teaches participants how to build, deploy and manage Drupal sites in a scalable way. Most sessions will involve an overview of a tool, then attendees will become familar with the tool by using it to complete a task. Time has been allocated to allow people to ask questions and share information about their own development workflows.

I'm begining to investigate Aegir - http://groups.drupal.org/aegir-hosting-system

I've built a VMWare virtual machine using the instructions at http://git.aegirproject.org/?p=provision.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/INSTALL...

I saw someone post to how they run a custom SQL script to put a Drupal site into maintenance mode using Drush's SQL commands, but here's the easier way without any SQL code necessary. Using Drush 3.0 we can turn a site on and off in a split second using the following command:

drush vset site_offline 1

To turn the site back online we run the same command but change the 1 to a 0, like so:

drush vset site_offline 0

*To learn more about the VSET command for Drush just type: drush help vset

The hosting company we use (Cloudnet) have posted a drush 3.0 .deb install package for Ubuntu/Debian.

How do you use Variable overrides in drushrc.php?

I've got a few ideas from the examples of variables overrides, but I'm curious what uses everyone is using it in dev or production.

I could see using it to set the site title to "DEV" or something, any thing else?

Needing to use RHEL on a project forced me to write up these docs, as I spent days and days (even with druroot already having done CENTOS install months and months before) trying to get the install script to work. After many tries and just starting with CentOS on Rackspace Cloud (pretty standard stuff) I found that this was now the best way to go with all the recent changes and lack of consistent documentation on Aegir on CentOS/RHEL w/ the newest Drush and Drush_make changes.

I had pointed my domain name at mediatemple vps, so I simply setup an A record there to point to my Rackspace Instances IP. (If you have not checked out rackspace cloud vs. Amazon's "interesting" offerings you seriously should.) Then I went and added DNS entry on Rackspace clouds DNS tab. So I setup the hostname on the instance (ssh in) like:

I love drush, but since moving to version 3 recently, I'm having problems with drush up.

I use subversion for version control, and when I try to run update, the first thing it does is to move the entire directory of any module that needs updates to the backups tree. This sounds like a good idea, but unfortunately my .svn files are moved too, giving me subversion errors, and essentially losing my historical changelog.

I want my drush scripts to be executable (without typing drush php-script NAMEOFSCRIPT.php) so I created a file /usr/local/bin/drush-script: drush php-script 1ドル

chmod +x NAMEOFSCRIPT.php

and NAMEOFSCRIPT.php now starts with #!/usr/bin/env drush-script

Now it would be nice to get rid of the drush-script file. Unfortunately #!/usr/bin/env drush php-script doesn't work as it will look for the file 'drush php-script' instead of passing php-script as the first parameter. Is there a way to pass this parameter in some other way?

Everything on my aegir 0.4 alpha 6 installation is running fine. I just have one issue. When i install modules into the hostmaster platform, i have no problems but if i try to install modules to other platforms using drush, i get this error. "Drush command could not be completed"

when i download to the hostmaster platform:

:~/hostmaster-0.4-alpha6$ drush dl acquia_prosper
Project acquia_prosper (6.x-1.0-beta4) downloaded to [success]
/var/aegir/hostmaster-0.4-alpha6/sites/all/themes/acquia_prosper.
:~/hostmaster-0.4-alpha6$ drush dl skinr fusion

We have a room with AV on Mon 4/19 2:45-3:45 Room 206. Please reply here if you have thoughts about the agenda.

If needed I can talk about the UC Berkeley use case anddo an informal demo of stuff I've been working on with Puppet and my Aegir 0.3 "helper" shell scripts like move_db.php and clone_site.sh...

But I'd love it if others propose agenda/discussion items. This is my first DrupalCON BOF so not sure how much organization is needed. Help me out! :-)

This blog post shows off some great new ways Drush 3.0 is better than earlier releases. http://developmentseed.org/blog/2010/mar/10/drush-30-more-powerful-flexi...

It's a good read to get ready for updating to the next level of Drush's Drupal power.

I'm using Drupal 6.x.

While I have my own shell script that will create a new database to use with a new drupal install, I would like to do this with drush.

Drush has some sql commands, but they seem to be for post creation.

I've looked inside the drush 3 beta and found the drush_core_pre_site_install() function, but I don't see where it is exposed. I tried to guess at a command name (pre-site-install), but those attempts failed. Another function in that same file, drush_core_site_install gave me an error message that it requires Drupal 7.

I just noticed something that I hadn't seen before in Drush...

Using Version 2 - I downloaded ckeditor and that worked fine. I then installed using drush en ckeditor - and it actually downloaded and install the extra software into the library folder for me. Love it!!!

Then on another site - I installed Ver 3 beta and tried the same - it downloaded ckeditor but when I tried to enable it - all it did was enable and not download and install the extra software into the library folder. I had to do that manually.

Any thoughts?

Is there any drush command to see which modules are included within a project? You can download a project, "cck", for example, and you need to enable "content", "text", "fieldgroup", etc. The only way I've found to see what "cck" packaged was to do a statusmodules command and see what changed (or to look directly for .info files within the folder).
