Automagic configuration of network parameters

Usage

intuitively [-V] [-f] [{-v | -q}] ... [-l location] [-i interface] [-c config_file] [-r location_file] [-S]

Overview

Sends out ARP (address resolution protocol) requests and, depending on who answers, it configures the network interface and default route. It also links the files in /etc/intuitively/NETWORK into your root hierarchy

Options

-f, --force

force overwriting of non-symlinks when linking the files from /etc/intuitively into the "real hierarchy"

-V, --version

display version and quit

-v, --verbose

be more verbose (may be repeated)

-q, --quiet

be more quiet (may be repeated)

-l location, --location=location

force selection of location. Useful if, for some reason intuitively fails to detect your location

-i interface, --interface=interface

force selection of interface. Useful if, for some reason libnet (or intuitively)) fails to detect which interface to use, or if you have more than one interface.

-c config_file, --config=config_file

use alternate configuration file.

-r location_file, --locationfile=location_file

write the location found into that file.

-S, --no-scripts

don't run the script specified in intuitively.conf. Nice for debugging.

Exit status

intuitively returns a zero exit status if the everything went ok. If something went wrong, it prints an error message and exits with a non-zero exit value. Use one or more -v to try to debug what is going on and send bug reports.

Bugs

It is impossible to have netmask = 32, but who wants that anyway? If you find a bug, please report by email to me
