Skeinforge console?

Hi,
im working at the moment on a server/client printtool.

I want to send my stl from the client ( a raspberry pi ) to my server where skeinforge is installed, let slice it and get it back to my raspberry.

Data sending is done, now i need a explanation how i can let skeinforge slice my stl with profil X.

I would be very happy if someone could tell me

Best regards

Benny

From the skeinforge.py:
===Command Line Interface===
To bring up the skeinforge dialog without a file name, type:
python skeinforge_application/skeinforge.py

Slicing a file from skeinforge_utilities/skeinforge_craft.py, for example:
python skeinforge_application/skeinforge_utilities/skeinforge_craft.py test.stl

will slice the file and exit. This is the correct option for programs which use skeinforge to only generate a gcode file.

Slicing a file from skeinforge.py, for example:
python skeinforge_application/skeinforge.py test.stl

will slice the file and bring up the skeinforge window and the analyze windows and then skeinforge will wait for user input.

Slicing a file from skeinforge_plugins/craft.py, for example:
python skeinforge_application/skeinforge_plugins/craft.py test.stl

will slice the file and bring up the analyze windows only and then skeinforge will wait for user input.

i have different profiles in skeinforge - how can i use them from the comandline - haven't seen a discription for that in the skeinforge wiki

any idea?

thanks tom

Maybe using a different PREFERENCESDIRECTORY for each profile, along with the -p option ?

deuxvis@somelinux:~$ ./skeinforge50/skeinforge_application/skeinforge.py --help
Usage: skeinforge.py [options]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p PREFERENCESDIRECTORY, --prefdir=PREFERENCESDIRECTORY
                        set path to preference directory
  -s STARTFILE, --start=STARTFILE
                        set start file to use
  -e ENDFILE, --end=ENDFILE
                        set end file to use
  -o PREFERENCES, --option=PREFERENCES
                        set an individual option in the format
                        "module:preference=value"

Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.
