Virtualmin Command Line Interface (CLI) on Joyent

Virtualmin

I was delighted to see there is a cli to virtualmin:

But when I tried it on my Joyent account, I ran into some problems, see this post:

http://discuss.joyent.com/viewtopic.php?id=25761

Mainly:

– The virtualmin binary is there: /usr/local/sbin/virtualmin

– It works for help requests like: virtualmin help list-domains

– But it doesn’t work for: virtualmin list-domains

So mainly I’m wondering should it work on Joyent, and if so, what am I doing wrong!

Well, I suspect it should work. I’d love to hear if other Joyent folks are having trouble with that or not.

However, I think my suggestion would be to file a bug report – we’ll get Jamie’s take on the matter :slight_smile:

Be sure to include the info from your forum post in the bug report – including the error message you receive and such.

Thanks!

I just found out the answer: Joyent turns off the VM CLI for the shared accounts. Their claim is that it would require root access for the CLI to work. See their responses at http://discuss.joyent.com/viewtopic.php?id=25761

But this sounds fishy to me: I can use the VM web interface without being root, right?

This might be solved between Joyent and Virtualmin … it would be good for VM shared users to have the facility.
