Network object members creation from bash script

[cramirez]

Hi guys,

I need to dinamically add members to a network object group. Does anyone know if this is possible from a bash script? I read that Zentyal uses redis to store configuration. Is the network object members saved in redis? Maybe I could use that if possible.

I'm using Zentyal 3.5. Appreaciate any help folks.

Yes, you can but I'm not sure any script of this kind has been already done. You should use Zentyal API in order to achieve this.

For instance this is the procedure which created an object: https://github.com/Zentyal/zentyal/blob/master/main/objects/src/EBox/Objects.pm#L299-L303 , or this one is the procedure to insert an object member into an object  https://github.com/Zentyal/zentyal/blob/master/main/objects/src/EBox/Objects.pm#L306-L348

Thank you so much jbahillo . I was not aware of the existence of such an API.

Thanks to your reply I was able to find a very good example of object management through the Zentyal API. I will paste here for future reference:

Although I have not finished the script yet, I already have all I need.
