Response line packet - njb-said/Godfrey GitHub Wiki

The response line packet

The response line packet is sent from the java application whenever a command it is executing outputs something.
For example if you run free -m via ssh/command line you would get this: free -m
Well, if you request the same command (free -m) be run via Godfrey each line of the image above, would be a separate response line packet.
Packet type is: RESPONSELINE. Please read Packet-Spec for more information about how packets work.

Packet Layout

Within the data object you would have the following:

  • line this is an individual line of a commands response
  • error whether the line was a notable error (in the error stream)
  • command the command you executed (for identification purposes)
  • hashId the unique identifier for this execution

Packet Example

You send the command date to server test. You would get one packet back, if you executed this command via ssh/command line you would have something like this:

If the command was executed by Godfrey you would get one response line packet that looked like this:
{"data":{"error":false,"hashId":"0e14fea388a19d0c7752dcef3e0da111","command":"date","line":"Thu Aug 20 18:22:15 CEST 2015"},"packet":"RESPONSELINE","machine":"test"}
