etcutils is a package that provides standalone utilities to manipulate some
|
||
|
|
of the configuration files in /etc in a programmatic manner. Some of these
|
||
|
|
files can be seen as databases and, as such, they should have tools to
|
||
|
|
update them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The utilities provided by etcutils are designed to permit their integration
|
||
|
|
into packaging systems. Once integrated, packages can use these tools to
|
||
|
|
automatically modify these system-wide configuration files without having
|
||
|
|
to care about portability issues. Of course, these utilities provide a
|
||
|
|
command-line interface that resembles that of other standard tools, and
|
||
|
|
thus their manual usage is also possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following utilities are provided:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* services(8): Add, list, remove and check the presence of entries in the
|
||
|
|
services(5) database.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* shells(8): Add, list, remove and check the presence of entries in the
|
||
|
|
shells(5) database.
