Chapter 14: Command Line Configuration
The config tool
Syntax
config [ -ahv ] [ -d id ] [ -g id ] [ -p path ] [ -r configurator ] [ -s id=value ] [ -P id ]
Description
The config tool is designed to perform multiple actions from one command if need be, so if necessary options can be chained
together.
The config tool allows manipulation and querying of the system configuration from the command line. Using config the
new configuration can be activated by running the relevant configurator which performs the action necessary to make the
configuration changes live.
The custom user configuration is saved in the /etc/config/config.xml file. This file is transparently accessed and edited when
configuring the device using the Management Console browser GUI. Only the user 'root' can configure from the shell.
By default, the config elements are separated by a '.' character. The root of the config tree is called <config>. To address a
specific element place a '.' between each node/branch e.g. to access and display the description of user1 type:
# config -g config.users.user1.description
The root node of the config tree is <config>. To display the entire config tree, type:
# config -g config
To display the help text for the config command, type:
# config -h
The config application resides in the /bin directory. The environmental variable called PATH contains a route to the /bin
directory. This allows a user to simply type config at the command prompt instead of the full path /bin/config.
