Dear SourceNavigator Team,
  My name is Justin Tripp and I am a member of the GNU software evaluation
team.  It came up in discussion as to whether or not SourceNavigator would
have a command-line interface.  Is it in your plans to have a command-line
interface?  Thank you for helping us with this information.

We are planning on doing a command line interface to the
parsers and database generation code, but not the GUI itself.

It would be quite a bit of work to add a command line
interface, but not impossible.

Thanks,  I think you have done a bang-up job on the gui and it would be
difficult to reimplement everything as a command-line.  Today, we spent 30
minutes, scratching our heads trying to get CodeWarrior to actually import
some .c and .h files into a new project.  I had alot easier time working
with SourceNavigator doing a similar sort of task.  Keep up the good work.

Thanks!

I command line interface would be a very cool feature.
If for the only reason of report generating, but also 
for other thing like update database info during the
night (cron job style).

I think most of the more useful feature could be implemented
as tcl scripts to output either in text or HTML. (There is
some HTML support but it is current broken in 4.5x).

I believe that currently run Source-Navigator requires
an X server even when ran as a command line app.  (?)

There is more info about running SN from the command line
in the SDK doc (Programmers Reference Guide) with some
examples.

     My name is Justin Tripp and I am a member of the GNU software
   evaluation team.  It came up in discussion as to whether or not
   SourceNavigator would have a command-line interface.  Is it in your
   plans to have a command-line interface?  Thank you for helping us with
   this information.

This is partly in place already.  It's possible to generate S-N projects
(ie. parsing source code) from the command line now.  Getting at the
database is also possible, just slightly more difficult.
