Usage

1. Set up the webOS dev mode by following the webosbrew guide.
2. Fetch the session token:

   ares-novacom --run 'cat /var/luna/preferences/devmode_enabled; echo'

Now you are ready to run webos-dev-mode commands.

• To extend the webOS dev mode session:

  webos-dev-mode extend --token SESSION_TOKEN

• To run a task which will extend the webOS dev mode session once per day:

  webos-dev-mode cron --token SESSION_TOKEN

• To check the current session expiration:

  webos-dev-mode check --token SESSION_TOKEN

Flag values can also be set using environment variables. To do this, capitalize all characters, replace - with _, and prefix with WEBOS_. For example, --token=example would become WEBOS_TOKEN=example, and --request-timeout=10m would become WEBOS_REQUEST_TIMEOUT=10m.
