8. Configuration File

The common configuration of AVG for Linux E-mail Server command line modules
is covered in the avg.conf file, usually located in the /opt/grisoft/avg7/etc
directory. The general syntax of the configuration file is described as follows:
...
# comments
[<section_name>]
<parameter_name> = <value1> <value2>
<parameter_name> = <value3> # comments
...
[<yet_another_section>]
<parameter_for_this_section> = <its_value>
...
The '#' character indicates a comment – the rest of the line following this character
is ignored and will not be processed.
The square brackets ('[' and ']' characters) enclose a section name. All entries
following the section specification until another section specification (or end of file)
are considered as configuration options related to the respective section.
The entries for each section consist of the parameter name and its value (or
values) specified after the '=' character. The values can be either numeric (integer)
or strings. The numeric 1/0 values usually represent enabling/disabling of the
respective feature specified by the parameter name.
Multiple values for one parameter can be separated by white space characters (for
example space, tabulator, etc.) or by a new line (the parameter name must be
given again in this case).
If you are logged in as root, you can change the parameter values directly in the
configuration file avg.conf using any plain text editor (e.g. vi, vim, pico, joe, gedit,
emacs, jed, jedit, ed, ...).
The configuration file consists of four sections.

8.1. AvgCommon

resident services (daemons) in general:
