ZX Dev Tools

These are a set of build and server running scripts.

Why does this exist?

This is sort of an experiment, but sort of a serious attempt at a tool that provides a single point of entry to anything else. I am not creating a dev tool stack so much as a tool to unify access to multiple dev stacks.

We'll see how it goes.

What does it provide?

The intent is to provide a set of simple tools, including the following:

zxconfig

The toolkit for managing ZX's own configuration. Eventually, I would like this to provide a peek into and possible manage the application's own configuration as well (if I can figure out a sensible way to make that happen).

zxbuild

This is a tool for building and testing the project. This means checking the application for compile time errors, running the test suite, and performing any static analysis available to the project.

zxinstall

This is a tool for installing the project onto the local machine, usually into the local home directory.

zxstart

This is a tool for running a development application server for the application.

pingdb

And in an exercise of "which of these things does not belong," this is a little tool I use to see if a MySQL server is ready to accept connections.
