Description
This sets that the
setup script will run in
silent mode, drawing
the configuration
information from a file
(set with the --file
parameter) or from
arguments passed
in the command
line rather than
interactively.
This sets the path
and name of the file
which contains the
configuration settings
for the new Directory
Server instance. This
can be used with the
--silent parameter;
if used alone, it sets the
default values for the
setup prompts.
The .inf parameters
are described in
Section 5.5.5.1, ".inf
File Directives".
This parameter
turns on debugging
information. For the
-d flag, increasing
the number of d's
increases the debug
level.
This saves the
temporary installation
file (.inf) that is
created when the setup
script is run. This file
can then be reused for
a silent setup. This file
is always generated,
but is usually deleted
once the install is
complete. The file
is created as a log
file named /tmp/
setuprandom.inf,
Example
/usr/sbin/setup-ds-
admin.pl -f /export/
sample.inf
