[atlas] Magellan streaming and ctrl-c behavior

Hi,

If I use the older Docker container for the ripe atlas CLI tools (Magellan) (at https://hub.docker.com/r/anuragbhatia/ripe-atlas-tools) a newly created measurement streams its results and then Magellan exits and the container exits.

Since the aforementioned image is old and displays results wrongly using erroneous Unicode conversion, which was solved in later Magellan versions, I created a new image using the latest Magellan code.

Now all is well except that after results have been streamed, Magellan waits for ctrl-c. This is as per the Magellan docs of the stream command, but very annoying. I planned to automate things, sending a ctrl-c keystroke is not easy in this case.

I don’t know whether the older Magellan code did not wait for ctrl-c or whether the creator of the older Docker image changed the code somewhere.

It would be an idea to add an option to the the Magellan measure command whether to stop after streaming or to stop after a certain amount of results are in, like the “—limit” command for the stream command which unfortunately is not an option of the measurement command.

I think the only option is to create a measurement with the —no-report option, get the measurement-ID from the URL and then use the report command, instead of streaming.

Any ideas?

Met vriendelijke groet / Regards,
