Tim Yardley created BIT-1232:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Command line script execution has limitations
                 Key: BIT-1232
                 URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1232
             Project: Bro Issue Tracker
          Issue Type: Problem
          Components: Bro
    Affects Versions: 2.3
            Reporter: Tim Yardley


root at lubuntu:/exercises/BroCon14/analyzers# bro -e "GridFTP::size_threshold = 1000;"
error in <command line>, line 1: const is not a modifiable lvalue (GridFTP::size_threshold)

and then to do it right...

root at lubuntu:/exercises/BroCon14/analyzers# bro -e "redef GridFTP::size_threshold = 1000;"
internal warning in <command line>, line 1: Can't document redef of GridFTP::size_threshold, lookup of <command line> failed

Neither work.

However...

root at lubuntu:/exercises/BroCon14/analyzers# bro "GridFTP::size_threshold=1000"
root at lubuntu:/exercises/BroCon14/analyzers# cat blah.bro
redef GridFTP::size_threshold = 1000;
root at lubuntu:/exercises/BroCon14/analyzers# bro blah.bro
root at lubuntu:/exercises/BroCon14/analyzers#

All fine. The redef from the command line is the interesting part.
