27.4 Configuring SCPM Using the
This section introduces the command line configuration of SCPM. Learn how to start
it, configure it, and work with profiles.
27.4.1 Starting SCPM and Defining Resource
SCPM must be activated before use. Activate SCPM with scpm enable. When run
for the first time, SCPM is initialized, which takes a few seconds. Deactivate SCPM
with scpm disable at any time to prevent the unintentional switching of profiles.
A subsequent reactivation simply resumes the initialization.
By default, SCPM handles network and printer settings as well as the X.Org configura-
tion. To manage special services or configuration files, activate the respective resource
groups. To list the predefined resource groups, use scpm list_groups. To see
only the groups already activated, use scpm list_groups -a. Issue these com-
mands as root on the command line.
scpm list_groups -a
nis
mail
ntpd
xf86
autofs
network
printer
Activate or deactivate a group with scpm activate_group NAME or scpm
deactivate_group NAME. Replace NAME with the relevant group name.
