lr_config1

Configure the lire software

Usage

lr_config

Overview

lr_config asks questions to the user, and builds configuration files using the answers. It tries hard to suggest reasonable defaults.

Currently, files like sysconfdir/defaults.local, sysconfdir/cron.defaults.local and sysconfdir/superservice/period.service.n.local are written.

Thanks

Bugs

On Solaris, one has to run something like

 % { echo '0 10 * * * lr_cron daily'; echo '0 10 * * 0 lr_cron weekly' } > \
     crontab
 % crontab crontab
 % rm crontab

instead of the oneliner which is displayed at the end of the config script.

This script is not portable in the true sense of the word: it uses shell functions. If your OS's /bin/sh doesn't support this, you could change the script's shebang manually to e.g. /bin/ksh. (This is not an issue on Solaris, OpenBSD, FreeBSD or Linux, since their /bin/sh does support shell functions.)
