NAME
switchconf - Change system configuration to one of many predefinedSYNOPSIS
switchconf [ -list | config_scheme ]
DESCRIPTION
switchconf is a command line tool that helps nomad laptop users to easily change their configuration.
OPTIONS
switchconf takes only one argument. If this argument is -list, a list of all known configuration schemes is returned (found in $conf_top_dirs). If the argument is a configuration scheme, this configuration will be installed on the laptop.
CONFIGURATION FILE
The configuration file (/etc/switchconf/conf) is simple. The following entries are defined:
- conf_top_dirs
- This specify where are located the configurations schemes.
- dest_dir
- This specify in which top directory you want to install the new configuration. This option is pretty useful if you want to debug your configuration without overwritting the actual one.
- exec_dir_before, exec_dir_after
- This specify the name of the exec directory : all files included will be executed before or after configuration changes
- run_parts
- This specify the path to the run-parts command, that is used to execute the scripts. Leave it empty to use the internal implementation of run-parts.
- config_method
- This specify the method to use to copy the configuration files, to their places: softlink, hardlink, copy
/etc/switchconf/conf should be written so it is parsable as a shell script - There should be no spaces between the variable name and its value.
SCHEMES
You should create a directory for each configuration scheme you define, including all the files it should set in the system. Inside /etc/switchconf the directories you should create the files including the full path (i.e., /etc/switchconf/home/etc/network/interfaces for /etc/network/interfaces).No scheme should be named as either the exec_dir_before or the exec_dir_after, unless the conf_top_dirs is moved out of its default directory, /etc/switchconf.
Although it is not really necessary, you should probably ensure that all the files existing in one of the schemes exist on every other scheme, in order to ensure you do not end up in a hybrid state.
FILES
- /etc/switchconf/conf
- Configuration file.
- /var/lib/misc/switchconf.lastcfg
- Memory file, has the name of the current active scheme
