SCFG

The Synchronet Configuration Utility (SCFG) is used for viewing and modifying the various CNF files in the ctrl directory.

Command-line Usage

usage: scfg [ctrl_dir] [options]

options:

-s  =  don't check directories
-f  =  force save of config files
-a  =  update all message base status headers
-h  =  don't update message base status headers
-u# =  set file creation permissions mask (in octal)
-c  =  force color mode
-m  =  force monochrome mode
-e# =  set escape delay to #msec
-iX =  set interface mode to X (default=auto) where X is one of:
       W = Win32 native mode
       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)

CTRL Directory

If the SBBSCTRL environment variable is set, then SCFG will find the CNF Files without needing you to specify the path to the ctrl directory ([ctrl_dir]) on the command-line.

If the SBBSCTRL environment variable is not set and the [ctrl_dir] is not specified on the command-line, SCFG will look for the CNF Files in the current working directory.
