AW: nvUtil How can I add to existing collection?

[Schiffinger Ralph 2100 <Ralph.Schiffinger@ERSTEBANK.AT>]

Curiosity killed the cat (and sometimes collections...)
The idea was just to beautiful NOT to try it...

1.) let's see what's in the original collection...

[root@NMSSR2:/home/root]> nvUtil l NOK
NT578
ns123121
Fil0143:10.231.21
NT568
Fil0072:10.231.9

2.) get description and rule of collection...

[root@NMSSR2:/home/root]> nvUtil g NOK
Collection: NOK
        Description: Critical || Marginal
        Rule:   (
(
('IP Status' = 'Critical') ||
('IP Status' = 'Marginal')
)
&&
(!('isCard' = True)) &&
(!('isSegment' = True)) &&
(!('CorrStat4' = 'BAUSTELLE'))
)

3.) pipe description and rule to a dummy-file...

[root@NMSSR2:/home/root]> nvUtil g NOK >qwe

4.) modify dummy-file, just keep/modify collection-rule...

[root@NMSSR2:/home/root]> vi qwe

5.) modified dummy-file looks like this...

[root@NMSSR2:/home/root]> cat qwe
                (
(
('IP Status' = 'Critical') ||
('IP Status' = 'Marginal') ||
('IP Status' = 'Normal')
)
&&
(!('isCard' = True)) &&
(!('isSegment' = True)) &&
(!('CorrStat4' = 'BAUSTELLE')) &&
('Selection Name' ~ '^NMS')
)

6.) erase original collection...

[root@NMSSR2:/home/root]> nvUtil r NOK

7.) check if empty...

[root@NMSSR2:/home/root]> nvUtil l NOK

8.) get current description and rule...

[root@NMSSR2:/home/root]> nvUtil g NOK
Collection: NOK
        Description: Critical || Marginal
        Rule:

9.) feed nvUtil with modified rule from dummy-file...

[root@NMSSR2:/home/root]> nvUtil r NOK "`cat qwe`"

10.) check description and rule...

[root@NMSSR2:/home/root]> nvUtil g NOK
Collection: NOK
        Description: Critical || Marginal
        Rule:           (
(
('IP Status' = 'Critical') ||
('IP Status' = 'Marginal') ||
('IP Status' = 'Normal')
)
&&
(!('isCard' = True)) &&
(!('isSegment' = True)) &&
(!('CorrStat4' = 'BAUSTELLE')) &&
('Selection Name' ~ '^NMS')
)

11.) check new contents of modified collection...BINGO!

[root@NMSSR2:/home/root]> nvUtil l NOK
NMSSR1
NMSSR2
NMSXS1
NMSXS2
[root@NMSSR2:/home/root]>

I JUST LOVE THE COMMAND-LINE!
