The Drush Module Manager module (drush_mm) is a Drush module addon which allows you to:

* enable or disable modules from the UNIX command line
* list all enabled or disabled modules on your site
* generate a dot file of your modules (for processing with graphviz - easily convertible to a PNG image of all you modules with the dependency graph)

Examples:

( we assume you have an installed Drupal with drush and drush_mm enabled and access to a UNIX shell and you are in the Drupal main dir )

( use drush help in the shell to remind you of options )


$ drush mm list

missing: privatemsg simpletest sms

enabled: admin_menu adminrole ... views views_ui

disabled: blogapi book charts ...

So you can copy the space-separated list of modules and give it to a "enable" or "disable" command.


$ drush mm enable blogapi book charts

With a :


$ drush mm disable blogapi book charts

you disable those back ...


NOTE!:
If you are going to do a Drupal core update, and you issue a "drush mm list" command you will get a list of ALL enabled modules and will have to get out of it the core modules ...
So I made a BASH script for this and attached it below - drlist_contribs.sh_.txt . It gives you only enabled contribs! And you can copy the output to "drush mm disable" ! And after that, you would run "drush mm enable"! Voilla!

The last command is "dot":


$  drush mm dot >backup/site1.dot # ( the backup dir is created by drush after the 1st module update - there it stores old versions of modules - and it makes sense to put your dot files there too. We assume that you have a multisite and site1 needs its modules dumped to a list ...  )
...
  "tracker" [ style=filled, color=green ];
  "tracker" -> "comment"
  "translation" [ style=filled, color=green ];
  "translation" -> "locale"
  "trigger" [ style=filled, color=green ];
  "trigger"
  "update" [ style=filled, color=green ];
  "update"
...

This is meta text with all dependencies and enabled (green), disabled (yellow). To get a png file just:


$ sudo apt-get install graphviz # ( install graphviz on debian-based linux - this may differ on your distro )
$ man dot # ( the manual of the dot viewer )

$ cd backup/
$ dot -Tpng -o site1.png site1.dot      # for a top down graph - a very wide image

or 

$ neato -T png -Goverlap=false -o site1.neato.png site1.dot   # with non overlapping nodes - both quite wide and high image

So now we have a dot image file with all our modules with all in it except the versions.

If you are an experienced Drupal developer and you already know what modules you want installed for your project you may want to use: www.drupalmashup.interestsphere.com

Excerpt from the site:

"This site comes to the aid of experienced Drupal developers who have discovered that they rely on much the same collection of modules for a particular type of site. Once you've mashed up your collection you can view the generated drush commands and/or download the (UNIX shell) script."

Copy the files into the to a .drush folder in your HOME folder, or to /path/to/drush/commands (not a Smart Thing, but it would work).
