update-conf.py 0.4.2

Install

This project requires Python 2.6 or newer.

PS: It’s possible to use Python 3 also. However, it is not well tested.

To install:

pip install update-conf.py

It’s possible to clone the project in Github and install it via setuptools:

git clone git@github.com:rarylson/update-conf.py.git
cd update-conf.py
python setup.py install

Usage

If you run:

update-conf.py -f /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

The script will merge the splitted config files in the directory /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.d into the file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.

If the directory containing the splitted files uses a diferent name pattern, you can pass its name as an argument:

update-conf.py -f /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf -d /etc/snmp/snmpd.d

It’s also possible to define frequent used options in a config file. For example, in /etc/update-conf.py.conf:

[snmpd]
file = /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
dir = /etc/snmp/snmpd.d

Now, you can run:

update-conf.py -n snmpd

To get help:

update-conf.py --help

cp {prefix}/share/update-conf.py /etc/update-conf.py.conf

update-conf.py -c my_custom_config.conf -n snmpd
