alt Hacker News> you have to share the command line or wrap it in a script. Scripts depend on environment, which can break portability
I get the problems but I don't think I've ever had both at once. A need to portably wrap and share a specific command line for a specific program?
For the case of broadcast it seems easiest to just document the proper command line options. For the case of "unicast" I can just ask the other person what their environment is so I can craft the appropriate wrapper for them.
The area of overlap in the Venn diagram is infinitesimally narrow.
Also, you can share the generic program and then share wrapper scripts that are named for what they do rather than a series of flags. Then to share, you're just sharing a config file, script or similar that calls "whatever.exe --dir=./blah --run=12 --batch=false"
