    I’m currently writing (well, updating from time to time) a small start page for my NAS. Among free disk space, load etc. it shows if required services are running; for that I do have a INI style configuration file, with entries like:

    [mysqld]
    
caption=MySQL Server
    
details="#mysql --version | grep -o 'Distrib [0-9].[0-9]*.[0-9]*'"
    
active=yes
    

    
[imap]
    
caption=Dovecot IMAP Server
    
details=#dovecot --version
    
active=no
    

    
[mt-daapd]
    
caption=iTunes Music Server
    
link=http://$_SERVER[SERVER_ADDR]:3689/
    
active=yes

    Well, as you can see, it’s quite useful to use the -v or –version of most Linux application to get their version number for display. Even worse, -v is some undocumented (well not in the list of displayed options) parameter for:

    # mt-daapd -v
    Converting config file…
    Error writing config file.

    I’ld say a command line parameter to display the version would be very helpful 🙂

    interesting. What NAS are you using?

    A Kurobox, but it’s actually quite a simple php script.

    I was just sick to remember all the different standard links, and creating just a page with static links to installed php apps was not that much appealing to me, so I decided to make something automated showing useful information on the entry page 😉

    Well, and as you can see, it would be nice to have some kind of version information for every monitored daemon on that page, and the easiest way usually is to just run the executable with a version parameter and grep the important part from the std out 😉

    I’ll add it as -V.

    yeah, looking sweet.
    actually, adding something like that to unslung would be rather easy, I guess. 🙂

    A bit improved (files here):

    -V added for the future already 😉

    Hi Ron,

    you may want to add the -V to the usage() in main.c as well ?
