OCI session manager is a menubar tool to manage OCI token authentication sessions.

I've noticed that auth sessions typically expire after about an hour. I got tired of manually doing a session authenticate command several times a day. This utility puts an icon in your menubar using Xbar and refreshes the session periodically (default: 5m) to keep it active for most of the day.

Recommend setting the refresh interval to about 5-10 mins.

1. install xbar from https://github.com/matryer/xbar/releases

2. install pre-requisite OCI CLI command.

   brew install oci

3. symlink this script into the xbar plugins directory ln -s scripts/session.sh ~/Library/Application\ Support/xbar/plugins/session.5m.sh

   should look like this:

   > ls -al  ~/Library/Application\ Support/xbar/plugins
   session.10m.sh -> $HOME/Development/session_manager/scripts/session.sh
   

4. start a new oci token-based session using OCI-> Actions -> Start Session. If a session is already running, it will automatically be refreshed.

There are three options to manually manage sessions.

1. Start Session. This creates a new OCI CLI token auth session.
2. Refresh Session. This attempts to refresh an existing OCI CLI token auth session.
3. End Session. This removes the token file for the DEFAULT session from `$HOME/.oci/sessions/DEFAULT/token

• try refreshing the plugin using xbar->refresh all
• try running the script in a terminal and checking the exit code, $?. If its non-zero there's a problem.
