Auto Complete sub command names for amadm CLI for bash user

SuperPat, my dearest pal (cough, cough!) pointed me to this blog DSEE 6.0 CLI made easier for /bin/bash users

And hinted me that we need to have this for OpenSSO. And why not. But this can be done in a different manner.

Download the opensso.war from here, deploy and configure it.

Download the amAdminTools.zip from here, unzip it in a temporary directory and run the ./setup script.

type <deployuri>/bin/amadm to check that CLI is up and running. Next

<deployuri>/bin/amadm | perl -e 'my $x; while (<>)
  { chomp; if (($_ =~ /^   ( [a-z][\S]+)/) && ($_ !~ /amadm/))
  {$x .= $1; }} print $x;'

to get the list of sub commands. Then

complete -W "<paste the output of previous command>" amadm

Then you can do <deployuri>/bin/amadm add-<TAB><TAB> thingy.
