THE FOLLOWING SPECIFICATION PARTICULARLY DESCRIBES THE NATURE OF THIS INVENTION AND THE MANNER IN WHICH IT IS TO BE PERFORMED.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to Command Line Interface (CLI) platforms, more particularly relates to a method and a system of managing the CLI platforms.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] In general, a Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based User Interface (UI) used to run programs, manage computer files and interact with the computer. The CLI is coupled with applications or devices in the communication network. The applications may include, but are not limited to, Linux, Oracle, my SQL, etc. The CLI being coupled with applications or devices is a concept of system design and computing where every hardware and software component is linked together in such a manner that each component is dependent upon each other.
[0003] In a normal functioning scenario between a user and an application, the user may interact with the application using the CLI by typing in text (commands). Generally, every application consists of their respective CLI, which is exclusive to the said application. In this condition, the CLI is said to be coupled tightly, therefore the CLI may not be able to be decoupled from the application. In other words, the CLI will not be able communicate with the other applications in the same communication network. Therefore, the user may have to use different CLIs for other applications. For example, the CLI used for application A may not be used for application B.
[0004] Further, when the CLI has been assigned to the respective application, initially the said CLI would have to be configured for the respective application. Going forward, in case the said CLI has to be reconfigured/modified, then it is not possible and therefore, a new CLI may have to be assigned to the respective application in order to configure/modify the CLI. For example, if CLI 1 has been assigned to application A, then in the event, CLI 1 has to be reconfigured/modified-which is not possible, then a new CLI, let us say CLI 2 has to be assigned to application A.
[0005] In view of the above, in order for every application to communicate, there is a need for a new CLI and further in case the current CLI has to be configured/modified which is not possible, then new CLI has to be assigned. Therefore, the process of assigning and configuring CLIs for every application is a cumbersome and time-consuming task and due to which the developers have to redevelop an entire application even for minute modifications, thereby slowing down the development and designing process of applications.
[0006] In view of the above, there is a dire need for a system and method for managing CLI platform, which ensures that time consumed for deploying the CLI for every application is substantially reduced.

[0037] Operational and construction features of the system 108 will be explained in detail with respect to the following figures.
[0038] FIG. 2 is an exemplary block diagram of the system 108 for managing the CLI platform 402, according to one or more embodiments of the present invention.
[0039] As per the illustrated embodiment, the system 108 includes one or more processors 202, a memory 204, a user interface 206, and a database 208. For the purpose of description and explanation, the description will be explained with respect to one processor 202 and should nowhere be construed as limiting the scope of the present disclosure. In alternate embodiments, the system 108 may include more than one processor 202 as per the requirement of the network 106.

[0040] As per the illustrated embodiment, the processor 202 is configured to fetch and execute computer-readable instructions stored in the memory 204. The memory 204 may be configured to store one or more computer-readable instructions or routines in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, which may be fetched and executed to create or share data packets over a network service. The memory 204 may include any non-transitory storage device including, for example, volatile memory such as RAM, or non-volatile memory such as disk memory, EPROMs, FLASH memory, unalterable memory, and the like.
[0041] In an embodiment, the user interface 206 includes a variety of interfaces, for example, interfaces for a graphical user interface, a web user interface, a Command Line Interface (CLI), and the like. The user interface 206 facilitates communication of the system 108. In one embodiment, the user interface 206 provides a communication pathway for one or more components of the system 108. Examples of such components include, but are not limited to, the UE 102 and the database 208.
[0042] The database 208 is one of, but not limited to, a centralized database, a cloud-based database, a commercial database, an open-source database, a distributed database, an end-user database, a graphical database, a No-Structured Query Language (NoSQL) database, an object-oriented database, a personal database, an in-memory database, a document-based database, a time series database, a wide column database, a key value database, a search database, a cache databases, and so forth. The foregoing examples of database 208 types are non-limiting and may not be mutually exclusive e.g., a database can be both commercial and cloud-based, or both relational and open-source, etc.
[0043] In order for the system 108 to manage the CLI platform 402, the processor 202 includes one or more modules. In one embodiment, the one or more modules includes, but not limited to, a receiving unit 210, a validating unit 212, a transmitting unit 214, a session establishment unit 216, and a selecting unit 218 communicably coupled to each other for managing the CLI platform 402.
[0044] In one embodiment, the one or more modules includes, but is not limited to, the receiving unit 210, the validating unit 212, the transmitting unit 214, the session establishment unit 216, and the selecting unit 218 can be used in combination or interchangeably for managing the CLI platform 402.
[0045] The receiving unit 210, the validating unit 212, the transmitting unit 214, the session establishment unit 216, and the selecting unit 218 in an embodiment, may be implemented as a combination of hardware and programming (for example, programmable instructions) to implement one or more functionalities of the processor 202. In the examples described herein, such combinations of hardware and programming may be implemented in several different ways. For example, the programming for the processor 202 may be processor-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium and the hardware for the processor may comprise a processing resource (for example, one or more processors), to execute such instructions. In the present examples, the memory 204 may store instructions that, when executed by the processing resource, implement the processor. In such examples, the system 108 may comprise the memory 204 storing the instructions and the processing resource to execute the instructions, or the memory 204 may be separate but accessible to the system 108 and the processing resource. In other examples, the processor 202 may be implemented by electronic circuitry.
[0046] In one embodiment, the receiving unit 210 is configured to receive a registration request via the UE 102. The registration request is received from the user to execute one or more applications 404. More specifically, the registration request refers to a formal request sent by the user to initiate interaction with one or more applications 404. The registration request comprises the user credential associated with a user of the UE 102. The user credentials refer to the information provided by the user of the UE 102 that is used to authenticate their identity and authorize their access to the one or more applications 404. The user credentials include, but are not limited to username, password, biometric data, security keys. The one or more applications 404 refers to the software programs or services that the user wishes to interact with through the CLI platform 402. The one or more applications 404 includes, but are not limited to standalone programs, system utilities, network services, custom or proprietary software. The standalone programs are independent software programs that perform specific tasks such as file management, data processing or network configuration. The system utilities include tools or utilities that are part of the operating system or network environment used for maintenance, monitoring or configuration purposes. The network services are the services running on the server 104 or within the network 106, such as database management systems, web servers, or network monitoring tools, which can be managed and controlled via the CLI. The custom or proprietary software is a specialized software developed for specific organizational needs that is required for configuration, deployment, or management.
[0047] Upon receiving the registration request, the validating unit 212 is configured to validate the user credentials associated with the user of the UE 102. The user credentials associated with the user of the UE 102 is validated by comparing the user credentials associated with the user of the UE 102 with the user credentials previously stored in the database 208. Thereafter, if the user credentials associated with the user of the UE 102 does not match with the user credentials previously stored in the database 208, then the user credentials associated with the user of the UE 102 is invalid. If the user credentials associated with the user of the UE 102 is invalid, then the transmitting unit 214 is configured to transmit a response indicating the invalidity of the user credentials to the user of the UE 102. The response indicates the lack of permission to access the one or more applications 404 to the user of the UE 102. Alternatively, if the user credentials associated with the user of the UE 102 matches with the user credentials previously stored in the database 208, then the user credentials associated with the user of the UE 102 is valid.
[0048] Upon successful validation of the user credential associated with the user of the UE 102, the session establishment unit 216 is configured to establish a session between the UE 102 and the one or more applications 404. The session refers to a temporary interactive connection established between the UE 102 and the one or more applications 404. The session enables the user of the UE 102 to communicate with, manage, and execute commands on the applications in a secure and controlled manner. In an embodiment, upon validation of the registration request, the user is registered at each of the one or more applications 404.
[0049] Subsequently, upon successful validation of the user credentials and the session establishment, the receiving unit 210 is configured to receive a command request from the user of the UE 102. In particular, the user transmits the command request pertaining to retrieve a set of commands to aid in execution /operation of the one or more applications 404. The command request is initiated by the user to retrieve the set of commands that are necessary or helpful for interacting with the one or more applications 404. The set of commands refers to a group of specific instructions that the user can execute through the CLI to interact with the one or more applications 404. The specific instructions include, but are not limited to, operational instructions, configuration instruction, diagnostic instruction, data retrieval instruction. In an embodiment, the set of commands is retrieved from the one or more applications 404. Further, the set of commands is customized based on requirements of the user. More specifically, the set of commands are customized based on the user’s role, access level or the specific requirements of the tasks that the user need to perform by the one or more applications 404.
[0050] Upon retrieval of the set of commands from the one or more applications 404, the selecting unit 218 is configured to select the set of commands. The set of commands are selected for the execution /operation of the one or more applications 404. The set of commands are selected based on the requirements of the user, the context of the application, and the operations that need to be performed by the UE 102. The specific requirements refer to the particular needs, preferences, and constraints associated with the user and the tasks they need to perform on the CLI platform 402.
[0051] Thereafter, the receiving unit 210 is configured to receive one or more execute command requests via the UE 102. The one or more execute command requests comprises at least one command selected from the set of commands to aid in execution/operation of the one or more applications 404. The one or more execute commands refers to commands that the user inputs via the CLI to initiate and carry out actions or operations within the one or more applications 404.
[0052] Upon receiving the one or more execute command requests from the user of the UE 102, the transmitting unit 214 is configured to transmit the one or more execute command requests to the one or more applications 404. The one or more execute commands are intended to execute specific actions such as starting a service, performing a configuration change, retrieving data, stopping a process etc., within the one or more applications 404.
[0053] Upon executing the one or more execute commands at the one or more applications 404, the receiving unit 210 is configured to receive an execute command response from the one or more applications 404. The execute command response indicates a status of the execution of the one or more execute command requests at the one or more applications 404. The status of the execution of the one or more execute command requests is at least one of success message, error message, failure message or warning message. Upon receipt of the execute command response, the transmitting unit 214 is configured to transmit the execute command response to the user of the UE 102.
[0054] Therefore, by managing the CLI platform 402, the system 108 helps in retrieving and selecting relevant set of commands to the user based on their role, application context, and specific needs. The system 108 prevents unauthorized access, thereby protecting sensitive operations and data within the applications. Further, the system 108 enhances user experience by providing transparency and clarity on the results of their commands, enabling faster troubleshooting and decision-making.
