Topic: Making Changes to the server-manager menu

[arnoldob]

Hi All,
I installed sysmon  has decribed at :
http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/index.html?frame=http%3A//sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/howtos/howto_6.htm

and fetchmail packages from:
http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/index.html?frame=http%3A//sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/howtos/howto_6.htm

Both created server-manager menu entries in an "uknown" catagory. Did anyone else have that happen and how do I fix it?

try rebooting the server...

[arnoldob]

Yup been there, done that.

But I did have luck with this
http://www.pagefault.org/howto/e-smith-antivirus.shtml

I followed the howto there and after it finished I had the server-manger catagory of Pagefault.org added with an "anit-virus" entry beneath it as expected. Also the fetchmail link moved to catagory Collaboration entry name "Mails Users". Sysmon moved to catagory Administration, entry "System Monitor". Weird, I guess I "Forrest Gumped" my way through that one. Has grandpa used to say "Even a blind hog finds the occassional acorn."  

Still I would like to know how to move or change entries in the menu. Anyone have any input?

I had also this problem and solved it using:

Code: [Select]


/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

Thanks bofh - worked a treat.
This has been bothering me too but I was reluctant to issue the post-upgrade event.

Thanks for the input about the post-upgrade event. Looking at the script for the pagefault.org install, that's what it did. Good to know for any future nonsense.

Anyone find the correct method for editing server-manager menu items?

It is not really necessary to issue the post-upgrade and reboot events to get pre-6.0 contribs to show up in the server-manager correctly.

All you need to do is execute the following event after installing the contrib with a incorrectly displayed pannel.

Code: [Select]

# /etc/e-smith/events/actions/navigation-conf

You will receive a scrolling screenful of errors however the end result should have the contrib server-manager panel appearing in the navigation area correctly.
