Topic: ????Server-manager panel link command?????

[Scott]

Hi,

I created a panel for the server-manager, but
I can't find the any reference to show me
what the correct syntax is to create a link
so as to add the panel to there server-manager.

I checked both manuals in the docs on the cd,
contrib.org, e-smith.org(went back to some 00
posts) and  even did a google search. I found
nothing relevent. This sounds like a good panel
addition to the server-manager. Have the panel
check for new panels and then automaticaly
create a link inserting them into the server-manager.

Hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply Mike,

I already have this. The contrib unfortunately
does not tell one how to make the links
necessary to edit the navigation panel
in server-manager.

I actually installed this and had to edit the
script to fix what I broke. All this contrib
does is update the db for the server-manager.
So, if you have a link that is already there
and yet not showing up, this will fix that.

I do have a couple things to check out.
don't know if they'll work though.

Have a good day.

Scott.

Hi all,

I was fishing around in the midnight commander
and there is a command under the file menu
to add either a hard link or a symbolic link
to a file.

So, to add a link in the server manager you
do the following.

On the on side of the midnight commander go
to directory where you want the link placed
/etc/e-smith/web/panels/manager/cgi-bin

On the other side go to the panel directory
/etc/e-smith/web/functions and hilight the file
you want to add to the navagation panel of
server-manager.

Hit the F9 key to drop down the menu and arrow
over to the file menu. Under the File menu
arrow down to SymLink and hit the enter key.
When the prompt comes up, hit the enter key
again to create the symlink.

Now you should find the link to the panel in your
server-manager.

To place a panel under a specific heading do the following:
Open the panel for editing and edit the following lines:
# heading        : your heading title hear
#description     : the title of your link here.
Yes these two lines are commented out.
However, the server-manager checks these
two lines to determine the heading under which
the link will be found and the title of the link itself.

While this is not the command line way of doing things,
it is quite fast and easy.

I am looking at the command line syntax. When I
figure out how it works, I'll post it.
