NAME

setup.cfg - configuration file for setup and WinToolsDownload

 

SYNOPSIS

WA2LWinTools/etc/setup.cfg

WA2LWinTools/etc/setup.domainname.cfg

WA2LWinTools/etc/setup.hostname.cfg

 

AVAILABILITY

WA2L/WinTools

 

DESCRIPTION

This is the optional configuration file for the setup (WA2LWinTools-<version>-<build>.exe) and WinToolsDownload command.

The configuration file setup.hostname.cfg has preference over setup.domainname.cfg and this file has preference over setup.cfg.

 

FILEFORMAT

Rows starting with a # are considered as comments.

The file format is OPTION=VALUE

Between the OPTION, the = and the VALUE are no spaces.

 

OPTIONS

REMOVESWFILES
to remove the downloaded/installed software file saved in the WA2LWinTools/var/sw/ directory after installing/upgrading the WA2L/WinTools package set this setting to True

This to save disk space (on USB drives, for example).

Example: REMOVESWFILES=True

Default: REMOVESWFILES=False

EXCLUDEFILES
A space separated list of files to exclude from installation. Files containing spaces need to be enclosed by double quotes.

NOTICE: This option should be used in *very* special occasions because it might compromise the correct operation of the WA2L/WinTools package.

Example: EXCLUDEFILES=WA2LWinTools/lib/KeyFreeze_x64.exe

Default: EXCLUDEFILES=

SWDIRECTORY
directory where to save the downloaded/installed software archive.

If the directory defined here does not exist, the software archive will be saved in the default location WA2LWinTools/var/sw/.

Example: SWDIRECTORY=h:\data\software\tools

Default: SWDIRECTORY=WA2LWinTools\var\sw

SERVICERESTART
Stop the services that are defined to be started On Login (see: config.cfg(4)) prior to the installation/upgrading of the WA2L/WinTools package.

Example: SERVICERESTART=False

Default: SERVICERESTART=True

STARTCONFIG
setting to define whether the config(1m) command is started at the end of the setup/upgrade process.

Example: STARTCONFIG=False

Default: STARTCONFIG=True

REAPPLYCONFIG
to avoid to flag the [ (!) Install / Apply ] button of config(1m) set this option to False.

This setting would only be used if you want to update the WA2L/WinTools installed on a external device, but you don't want to apply the settings (as defined in the WA2LWinTools/etc/config.cfg file) to the system where you run the setup/upgrade.

When setting this option to False the config(1m) command is not started at the end of the setup/upgrade process.

Probably you might want to set this setting in the WA2LWinTools/etc/setup.hostname.cfg file, where the hostname equals to the computer where you setup/update the package rather than in the WA2LWinTools/etc/setup.cfg file.

After package setup/upgrade on the external device with this option set to False, you should start the config(1m) command once on the computer where you are using the updated package (the first time) and press the [ Re-Apply ] button to be sure that the new/changed features are correctly set/adjusted.

Example: REAPPLYCONFIG=False

Default: REAPPLYCONFIG=True

NTLM_AUTH
Enable/disable NTLM proxy authentication.

If a proxy is defined in proxy.cfg(4) NTLM authentication is used, else NTLM is not used.

With NTLM_AUTH=setting this behaviour can be superseded.

Example: NTLM_AUTH=True

Default: NTLM_AUTH=False
