Running Phex without GUI
 

Hello i have found in Phex-messy-wiki-documentation, that it is possible run Phex without GUI.

So i have run it.
And now...

How i can check how much and what files i have already uploaded ?
How i can check current connections ?
How i can share new files ?

I know that this will require modifcation of *.xml files.
But there is NO expleinantion about them.
In example we have: sharedlibrary.xml, I understand what is SF, FID and SHA1. But i have no idea what is LM, or TxRH, TxLLN - i dont see this in all shared files.

Maybe someone should write some kind of documenatation about those files.
Then someone could write some kind of parser for this .xml file. In perl or bash :)

etc. etc.

When you run Phex headless, you won't be able to change anything. It just allows you to run it in background without being able to do anything (yet).

With the changes in the releaseline-3.x branch, you can simply restart it with GUI, and the statistic of uploaded files will show you, what happened while Phex was headless :)

I can't really help you on the sharedlibrary, since I also don't know how it's layout works.

Modification of xml files might even be inefficient, since Phex only outputs its settings there - afaik it doesn't read them out while it runs.

I know that this is a quite limited headless mode, but I hope it's still useful :)

PS: Sorry for replying so late... I didn't see your post :(
Thanks go to only a hobo, who pointed me to the thread.
PPS: Do you have some ideas how to get the wiki more structured?
