Topic: can you load V6 status screen on V7

[mike_mattos]

I tend to assemble servers as stand alone, and at delivery switch to server/gateway mode.

On V6 the status screen was great for this, and could be  turned off later.

Is there any way to default to that screen on V7, or run it from the command line ?


Thx

Could you clarify exactly what you mean by "the status screen"?

And please raise this issue, as a "New Feature Request" in the bug tracker at http://smeserver.sourceforge.net/. That's the *only* way that there is any chance for a change to be inclused in v7.

I should have said "Server Console"!  Sorry!

( the first menu item is server status and that stuck in my memory )

Do you mean the server console? From the command prompt simply login as 'admin' instead of 'root' -or- if logged in as root 'su admin' to bring up the server console to switch server modes.

thanks, Darrell

is there a config setting I can access to change the default on a live server ( for remote maintenance, I'd like to change what the customers see? )

What default are you talking about?
What does your customer see now that you want to change?

If you want the console to show without logging in (deprecated for security reasons), then you can have it:

config set ConsoleMode auto
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

or, if you wish to avoid the reboot

config set ConsoleMode auto
expand-template /etc/inittab
telinit q
