Synopsis

# Comment line

key=value

DESCRIPTION

The MagniComp SysInfo runtime configuration (RC) file allows customization of runtime arguments and options for the SysInfo Command Line Interface (mcsysinfocli(1)) and the SysInfo Graphical User Interface (mcsysinfogui(1)).

Command line arguments take precedence over options read from mcsysinfo.cfg files.

The following files are read (in order) when mcsysinfo is executed:

  1. /opt/sysinfo/config/mcsysinfo.cfg

  2. /etc/mcsysinfo/mcsysinfo.cfg

  3. $HOME/.mcsysinfo/mcsysinfo.cfg

The most recently read value takes precedence over previously read values.

Lines beginning with a hash (#) character are taken as comment lines and are ignored.

COMMANDS

Each line of the RC file has the form:

	key=value

The key is case insensitive. If key is a boolean, than the possible values for value are yes, no, true, and false. Boolean values are case insensitive.

Some key options corresponds to a command line option. The following table describes each key value and its corresponding command line option (if any):
