 +====== SCFG ======
 +
 +The Synchronet Configuration Utility (SCFG) is used for viewing and modifying the various [[config:CNF files]] in the Synchronet ''[[dir:ctrl]]'' directory.
 +
 +{{:util:scfg_main.png|SCFG Main Menu}}
 +
 +===== Invoking =====
 +
 +SCFG may be invoked from the [[:monitor:sbbsctrl|Synchronet Control Panel]] with the BBS->Configure menu option:
 +
 +{{:monitor:sbbsctrl_configure.png|}}
 +
 +Or by running ''scfg'' from a command prompt.
 +
 +:!: Note: If the Synchronet ''[[dir:exec]]'' directory is not in your search path, you may need to change the current working directory (e.g. using ''cd'') or specify the //full path// to ''scfg''. 
 +
 +===== Executable =====
 +
 +SCFG is a native executable program.
 +
 +On Windows, the executable file is: ''[[dir:exec]]/scfg.exe''
 +
 +On Unix, the executable file is: ''[[dir:exec]]/scfg''
 +
 +===== Command-line Usage =====
 +
 +Help on the command-line usage can be displayed by executing the command: ''scfg -?'' or ''scfg --help'':
 +
 +<code>
 +usage: scfg [ctrl_dir] [options]
 +
 +options:
 +
 +-f  =  force save of configuration files
 +-a  =  update all message base status headers
 +-h  =  don't update message base status headers
 +-u# =  set file creation permissions mask (in octal)
 +-k  =  keyboard mode only (no mouse support)
 +-c  =  force color mode
 +-m  =  force monochrome mode
 +-e# =  set escape delay to #msec
 +-insert = enable keyboard insert mode by default
 +-import=<filename> = import a message area list file
 +-faddr=<addr> = specify your FTN address for imported subs
 +-misc=<value> = specify option flags for imported subs
 +-g# =  set group number (or name) to import into
 +-iX =  set interface mode to X (default=auto) where X is one of:
 +       X = X11 mode
 +       C = Curses mode
 +       F = Curses mode with forced IBM charset
 +       I = Curses mode with forced ASCII charset
 +       A = ANSI mode
 +       D = standard input/output/door mode
 +-v# =  set video mode to # (default=auto)
 +-l# =  set screen lines to # (default=auto-detect)
 +-b# =  set automatic back-up level (default=5)
 +-y  =  automatically save changes (don't ask)
 +</code>
 +
 +:!: Note: some of the interface mode values are only available on particular platforms/operating systems.
 +
 +===== CTRL Directory =====
 +
 +If the ''[[config:env#SBBSCTRL]]'' environment variable is set, then SCFG will find the [[config:CNF files]] without needing you to specify the path to the ''[[dir:ctrl]]'' directory  (''[ctrl_dir]'') on the command-line.
 +
 +If the ''[[config:env#SBBSCTRL]]'' environment variable is **not** set and the ''[ctrl_dir]'' is not specified on the command-line, SCFG will look for the [[config:CNF files]] in the current working directory.
