hpacuscripting Bug/Feature Request

[Alex Rasmussen]

I'm trying to run hpacuscripting on a system whose file system is mounted read-only over NFS (with the exception of a few important directories such as /var/log, which are mounted read/write or using tmpfs). hpacuscripting fails to run if /opt/compaq/hpacucli/bld is not writable, as it attempts to write a file named "output.txt" in that directory and fails if it is read-only.

hpacuscripting has a "-e" option that allows you to specify the location of its error file. I'd like to suggest that an additional flag be added that allows the user to specify the location of the output file as well.

For reference, I am running the version of hpacuscripting included with version 8.28-13.0.10-9 of hpacucli on Debian testing x86_64 with Linux kernel version 2.6.32.8. I installed hpacucli (and with it hpacuscripting) from a .deb file downloaded from software.hp.com.
