NAME
sreview-config - manage the SReview configuration
SYNOPSIS
sreview-config --help|--config-file=FILE|--action=ACTION|--set=KEY|VALUE
DESCRIPTION
sreview-config is used to manage the SReview configuration from the command line. It takes up to two options: the current configuration file to read defaults from, and the action to perform on that configuration file.
It can be used on upgrade of SReview to a newer version, to initialize the configuration with working settings, or to initialize the database.
OPTIONS
--help
Produce help output.
--config-file=FILE
Use FILE
as the configuration file to read defaults from. If this parameter is not specified, then sreview-config will try the file config.pm
in the directory pointed to by the SREVIEW_WDIR
environment variable, followed by /etc/sreview/config.pm
, and then fall back on the builtin defaults.
--set=KEY=VALUE
After reading the selected config file (see --config-file
) and before performing the requested action, set the value of configuration setting KEY
to VALUE
.
This option can be repeated multiple times as needed.
--action=ACTION
Perform ACTION, which can be one of:
dump
Write the current configuration to standard output. Note: Do not redirect the output of this command to the active configuration file, since that will overwrite the active configuration file with empty data before it is read by sreview-config
, which will not work. See update
for that.
initdb
Read the configuration file, then initialize the database that is configured.
Note that this action is not strictly necessary; sreview-web will implicitly initialize and upgrade the database to the latest version at startup.
update
Read the configuration file, then rewrite it with new settings that are not found in the current configuration file, as well as incorporating configuration settings that were set with --set
.
This is useful on upgrade of SReview, so that new configuration options can be added to the configuration file without loss of old options. It can also be used as a way to configure sreview
.
--get=KEY
Get the value of KEY, in JSON format
