grml-autoconfig(8) ================== Name ---- grml-autoconfig - script and configuration framework for the grml system Synopsis -------- grml-autoconfig Options ------- The program grml-autoconfig does not support any options but needs to be run with root permissions as it modifies a system wide configuration file (/etc/grml/autoconfig). About ----- The program grml-autoconfig does not support any options but needs to be run with root permissions as it modifies a system wide configuration file (/etc/grml/autoconfig). 'grml-autoconfig' is an interface to the framework named grml-autoconfig. /etc/init.d/grml-autoconfig is the main script of the grml-system where all the hardware recognition and activation of services take place. grml-autoconfig supports an adjustable configuration via the configuration file named /etc/grml/autoconfig. The script named Bgrml-autoconfig is a simple dialog-based interface to the configuration file. You can either use the script for configuring grml-autoconfig or modify the configuration file manually on your own (there is no interference). The grml-autoconfig package creates three initscripts on installation: /etc/init.d/bootlocal.first, /etc/init.d/bootlocal.middle and /etc/init.d/bootlocal.last. They are created in the maintainer scripts of the grml-autoconfig package. This means they are not part of the package itself and therefore also not marked as configuration files of the package. As a result the files won't be touched anymore, neither when upgrading nor when removing the package! If you want to add your own bootup commands you can use these files. /etc/init.d/bootlocal.first is executed at the very beginning, in runlevel 'S'. /etc/init.d/bootlocal.middle is executed right before startup of grml-autoconfig itself in runlevel '2' only (where grml-autoconfig is located as well). Finally /etc/init.d/bootlocal.last is executed as one of the last initscripts in runlevel '2' only. Files ----- */etc/init.d/grml-autoconfig*:: Init-script which runs the commands defined in /etc/grml/autoconfig.functions after checking configuration file /etc/grml/autoconfig. */usr/sbin/grml-autoconfig*:: Dialog interface to the configuration file /etc/grml/autoconfig. */etc/grml/autoconfig*:: Default configuration file for grml-autoconfig framework. You can override settings via /etc/grml/autoconfig.local or use the dialog interface /usr/sbin/grml-autoconfig. */etc/grml/autoconfig.local*:: User specific configuration file for grml-autoconfig. You can edit it directly or use the dialog interface /usr/sbin/grml-autoconfig. */etc/grml/autoconfig.functions*:: Main functions of the grml-autoconfig. You do not need to configure or execute the file. For debugging purposes you can source this script also from within an interactive shell and run specific functions afterwards. */etc/grml/lsb-functions*:: Based on /lib/lsb/init-functions this file provides an adjusted version of an lsb-like booting sequence.
