Suggestion - Generating XML from the command line

Speccy

Hello, I first want to thank the Speccy, is very good!

My suggestion is to be able to generate the XML via command line (MS-DOS), something like c: \ Speccy -xml

This would be interesting to get the hardware information automatically. Grateful!

A command line option that runs silently in the background would be a major feature that could make this a widely accepted tool. It's a great tool, but right now it doesn't scale. It's currently only useful on a small scale. I can run it on one computer at a time and manually export the data, but in a business environment time is money. That means I or someone is still getting paid to go around running this on numerous computers. Then repeating the whole process again to get an updated inventory.

We do IT work for about 200 companies, and if we could just run a command line version of this in a login script and have it save the info to a server share... now THAT would be something I, and probably IT admins around the world, would use in a heartbeat.

Add my STRONG vote for this feature.

Also need to add the ability to load the XML file as a snapshot to make this truly useful.

Another +1 for command line options.

Speccy --save_to_file=my.file.xml

Speccy --load_from_file=my.file.xml

This would make speccy extremely useful.

VOTE +1 B)

Looking and/or an exposed set of public functions to collect the same info and send/upload to web/mysql. I can do that from my own applications, but Speccy needs to have the exposed functions to call and return information.

Otherwise, yes - the XML to file on command line would be a simplified solution. :)

+1 for command line options. Want to be able to plug in USB drive and run script to automatically save specs with a datestamp back to USB.
