sysconftool is a development utility that helps to install application
|
|
configuration files. sysconftool allows an existing application to be
|
|
upgraded without losing the older version's configuration settings.
|
|
|
|
sysconftool is a script that is used by applications to update configuration
|
|
files when a new version of the application is installed. sysconftool reads
|
|
the new application configuration files, reads any older versions of those
|
|
files that are already installed, then replaces the old versions with the
|
|
new ones, but preserving any custom changes contained in the old versions.
|
|
|
|
For more information on sysconftool, and why applications need it, see
|
|
the installed manual pages: sysconftool(1) and sysconftool(7). With most
|
|
versions of the man command: "man 1 sysconftool" and "man 7 sysconftool".
