Title: /sbin/e-smith/config parameters?
Post by: chris snow on March 24, 2003, 03:50:48 PM

Where can I find documentation on the list of properties that are accepted by /sbin/e-smith/config ?

Thanks,

Chris

Do you mean "/sbin/e-smith/db config"?  If so, try "/sbin/e-smith/db --help".

Sorry Bill,

I've tried that.  What I'm actually looking for is documentation on the keys/values that the command accepts.

Thanks,

Chris

Sorry Chris,

That does not exist.

You can look at the files in /home/e-smith (configuration, accounts, hosts) and get an idea as to what is available.

To understand what the options do and what they are used for (and in some cases, to learn about available options that are not set) you have to examine the code in /etc/e-smith/events/functions and /etc/e-smith/web/functions and other locations.

You can use "show" to see what's in there already. It's a database. It just stores values. You can add your own stuff to it if you like. The actual stored parameters are going to depend on which functions use those stored values. You can write a function to use anything, and store that anything in the database, so there's not really a set definition of what's "supposed" to be in there. I think looking at what's already there is going to give you the best idea of what the creators had in mind with the system...

Thanks Bill, that's just what I'm looking for.

Although the db can accomodate new settings, the default settings on a fresh installation of SME should be documented somewhere.

This db is a primary source of parameters in the function of a standard SME.

It would be a gross oversight NOT to have documentation on this.

Anyone tried Mitel?

I guess there is a gross oversight, then. :-)

Any.

As Serge stated, some sort of documentation on the default database structure would be extremely handy though. Even just a 1 page description of what the different options are...
