NAME
update-exim4.conf.template - Regenerate exim4 configuration file template.
SYNOPSIS
update-exim4.conf.template [-h|--help] [-n|--nobackup] [-o|--output file] [-r|--run]
OPTIONS
-h|--help
Show short help message and exit
-n|--nobackup
Overwrite existing file, instead of keeping it as
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template.bak.random-number
-o|--output file
Write output to file instead of /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template.
-r|--run
Actually do something. If this option is not specified
update-exim4.conf.template
will exit immediately. This option was introduced because
update-exim4.conf.template
overwrites configuration files.
DESCRIPTION
The script
update-exim4.conf.template
regenerates the main configuration file template
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template
from the configuration snippets in the
/etc/exim4/conf.d
directory tree.
This process will overwrite all local changes in
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template
and might be useful if there are local changes in the
/etc/exim4/conf.d
directory tree, for example by a new mail related package dropping its
own configuration snippets in there.
update-exim4.conf.template
ignores all files in the conf.d directory that have a filename which
does not consist only of letters, numbers, underscores and hyphens
([:alnum:]_-), similar to
run-parts(8).
For easy interaction with packages extending Exim additionally
/etc/exim4/conf.d/foo/bar.rul is used instead of
/etc/exim4/conf.d/foo/bar if it exists!
ENVIRONMENT
If
CONFDIR
is set
update-exim4.conf.template
will search for the input files below $CONFDIR/conf.d instead of
/etc/exim4/conf.d/ and will write the output to $CONFDIR/exim4.conf.template
instead of to /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template (unless overridden with -o or
--output).
BUGS
This manual page needs a major re-work. If somebody knows better groff
than us and has more experience in writing manual pages, any patches
would be greatly appreciated.
