Topic: SME Server /sbin/e-smith/ utilities documentation

[Yvick]

Hello all,

Browsing through the HOWTOs to get answers, I found that many of my questions were answered by using utilities in the /sbin/e-smith/ directory with various parameters.

Is there any documentation for these ? If so where can I find them ( I tried searching but with no luck ...)

Thanks !

What are you referring to here, can you give an example ?

Hi Ray,

I'm talking about the utilities found under the /sbin/e-smith/ folder.

I'm looking for documentation for the various programs inside this directory like db, config ...

Cheers,

Yvick

PS: I'm using the 6.5 RC1 ...

Sorry, misread the location.

I don't think there is specific documentation.
As you have seen you can pick up a lot of info in HOWTOs & reading these forums & I gather by also anaylsing the code in rpms & the base distribution.

For syntax do:
/sbin/e-smith/db

usage:
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile keys
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile print [key]
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile show [key]
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile get key
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile set key type [prop1 val1] [prop2 val2] ...
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile setdefault key type [prop1 val1] [prop2 val2] ...
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile delete key
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile printtype [key]
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile gettype key
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile settype key type
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile printprop key [prop1] [prop2] [prop3] ...
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile getprop key prop
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile setprop key prop1 val1 [prop2 val2] [prop3 val3] ...
    /sbin/e-smith/db dbfile delprop key prop1 [prop2] [prop3] ...
