cmd line client only uses service's config

[tbuser]

If you run conveyor_cmdline_client.py -c foo.conf but started conveyor_service.py with -c bar.conf, it uses the settings in bar.conf. This seems to make it impossible to slice things with different settings?

It is currently impossible to slice with different settings. The client only uses the config file to find the socket.

This will be fixed soon. We have an unmerged branch with a Job object that holds job-related settings. It lets you override any main config setting on a per-job basis. The client will only use the config to find the socket and provide defaults for any setting you don't explicitly override.

You can now pass slicer settings over the JSON-RPC print/printtofile/slice endpoints. This is not yet available in the command-line client.

A cautionary note about the JSON-RPC API: it is currently subject to change. You may notice that the method signatures and parameters are inconsistently named, or that the slicer_settings has a really small subset of interesting settings. We are going to fix up the API during the next sprint.
