amulecmd download does not work with -c

[chackoc]

Binary package hint: amule-utils

When using amulecmd I am able to successfully use "download 1" via the interactive prompt. The download starts exactly as expected. On the other hand if I try

  amulecmd -c="download 1"

I always get the following error:

:~/.aMule$ amulecmd -v -c="download 1"
This is amulecmd 2.1.3

Creating client...
Succeeded! Connection established to aMule 2.1.3

Use 'Help' for command list

Invalid argument.
Type 'help download' to get more help.

Ok, exiting aMulecmd...

I can't get amulecmd working in Hardy for some reason... can you check if this happens in Hardy alpha 5 or newer?

I'm having this same issue in Ubuntu Intrepid:

amulecmd -P xxxxxxxx --command="Download 308"
This is amulecmd 2.2.2

p.s. Also have tried:

amulecmd -P xxxxxxxx --command= Download 308
amulecmd -P xxxxxxxx --command=Download 308
amulecmd -P xxxxxxxx -c "Download 308"
amulecmd -P xxxxxxxx -c Download 308

Always getting invalid argument.

This hasn't even been tested I'm guessing since the issue still exists

UPDATE: I've just tried upgrading to 2.2.4 with the same results. I can pass searches and pull results, but can not tell amuled to start downloading. It would seem a little pointless to be able to do the others and not be able to do that.

FYI,

I ended up hacking around this with the following Perl script. It uses expect to script an interactive amulecmd session. It's a hack but it should work until the package maintainers can fix the actual bug.

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
use strict;

use Expect;

# create an Expect object by spawning another process

my $cmd = "amulecmd -P=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";

my $exp = Expect->spawn("$cmd",())or die "Cannot spawn $cmd: $!\n";

# send some string there:
$exp->send("results\n");
$exp->send("download $ARGV[0]\n");
$exp->send("Quit\n");

$exp->soft_close();
$exp->hard_close();

exit 0;
