Our primairy goal is to be able to start/stop services that have a script in /etc/init.d. Unfortunatly, we haven't been able to find a MOF/provider that is able to do this for us. So we decided to write our own. We want to use Cimbiote for this. The example you wrote (example_plugin.py) is pretty clear, except for the methods. I believe there are tho methods, set and get_array_element, and they both require some args. I am trying to access the method using this command: # wbemcli cm '<A HREF="http://localhost/root/cimv2:ExamplePlugin.Filename=">http://localhost/root/cimv2:ExamplePlugin.Filename=</A>"file-9.txt"' get_array_element This returns "a general error occured, not covered by more specific code", and I should check some logs. I have tried various options for the method invocation, but I never get a valid response. Can you give me an example of how to execute this method? Regards, Bart </BODY> </HTML>
