ADVANCED FEATURE: Configuration File Support (OPT-18)
Implements configuration file loading from /etc/wordpress-cron-manager.conf
Enables production deployments with persistent configuration management.
OPT-18: Configuration File Support (40 min effort)
- load_config_file() loads configuration from shell-style config file
- generate_sample_config() generates sample /etc config file
- Auto-discovers /etc/wordpress-cron-manager.conf on startup
- Supports all major settings: ENABLE_PARALLEL, DRY_RUN, BATCH_MODE, etc.
- Command-line flags override config file settings
Configuration File Format:
- Shell variable assignment style (KEY=VALUE)
- One setting per line
- Comments supported (# prefix)
- Optional file (script works without it)
Sample Config (/etc/wordpress-cron-manager.conf):
ENABLE_PARALLEL=true
BATCH_MODE=true
LOG_DIR=/var/log
REPORT_FORMAT=json
REPORT_FILE=/var/log/wp-cron-report.json
Benefits:
- Persistent configuration across runs
- Easy management for operations teams
- Environment-specific configs (dev/staging/prod)
- Configuration version control via /etc/
- Production-ready deployment pattern
- Centralized settings management
Command-Line Override:
./script --dry-run (overrides config file DRY_RUN=true)
./script --log=/custom/path (overrides LOG_OUTPUT_FILE)
Code Metrics:
- Lines added: +84 (2 functions + config auto-load)
- Settings supported: 7+ major options
- Override capability: Full CLI precedence
- Test: bash -n validation passed
Total optimizations implemented: 19 of 20
Remaining: 1 advanced feature (integration test suite)
