Extension talk:MaintenanceShell/Archive

Hey, great idea! Exactly what i was looking for to run on my rather restricted server. stupid university sysadmins :(

I dunno if this discussion page is the right place to post this, but nevermind.

I think I found some minor glitches:


 * MaintenanceShell_body.php, line 50: the & and ? are in the wrong order, swap them in order to get the list of maintenance scripts on Special:MaintenanceShell functional again
 * MaintenanceShell.php, line 41: it should say 'Location: http:// ', otherwise it renders the URL unusable
 * MaintenanceShell.php, line 50: this looks like a remainder of v0.1.0's password system to me?

Unfortunately I could not get it to run. After filling the form with, let's say checkImages and command line "--fix" and submitting, the script just returns to Special:MaintenanceShell without any further ado...

Any ideas? Any Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Please mail me in an electronically manner to user PHIL at the hostname METAPHIL in country DE :-)
 * Hi Phil.. sorry it didn't work for you.. I'm not sure why. I will look into the bugs you posted.  I really appreciate your feedback and hopefully we'll get it working for you :) What version of MediaWiki are you using?  I can only verify it should work on 1.14.0  --Frantik 23:13, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I followed up with Phil and I think we've got his problem solved... The user rights must be placed before the script call. --Frantik 19:55, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * v0.2.1 addresses the bugs mentioned above --Frantik 02:57, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Stupid question but where do you actually go to use MaintenanceShell once installed?--86.28.134.69 11:27, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
