Can someone please provide with the command to associate a kit with a nodegroup?

Typing `ngedit -h` should give you a list of available commandline options. Note that it's possible some tasks cannot be accomplished from the command line alone.

Hi

Todays ngedit cannot do what you want. We are working on a version that will allow you to import/export nodegroup definitions as XML, so editing the XML would change the node defination.

If you are doing this within a kit spec file you can use something like:

%define comp1 component-MyApplication
%define SQLRUNNER /opt/kusu/sbin/sqlrunner
cid=`%{SQLRUNNER} -q "SELECT cid FROM components WHERE cname='%{comp1}'"`
%{SQLRUNNER} -q "INSERT INTO ng_has_comp SET cid=$cid, ngid=1"

There is also a way to do it automatically with a kitinfo file (I think).

Ngedit now can import/export XML nodegroup definitions. It's not documented though, but it should not be too difficult to determine what the XML means.
