Using a Script to Set-Up the Office Server
42
AXEL Office Server
The Office Server can also be set up with a script. This allows Office Server
settings to be archived, or several Office Servers to be set up with the same
script.
4.1 - OVERVIEW
This method of Office Server set-up is performed using the rsh command. A
script (whose file-name is given as an argument to the rsh command) contains
the value of each set-up parameter.
The script may contain some or all the Office Server set-up parameters. It can
either be:
- created with a text editor (vi for example) or
- obtained by sending a rsh command to an Office Server already set-up.
This feature allows:
- fast and safe installation, of multiple Office Servers with the same script,
- convenient site maintenance, supported by an archived configuration file
for each Office Server,
- reduced support costs.
The rsh command is used both to apply the set-up, and to obtain the existing
configuration of an Office Server. The rsh command parameters for remote
administration are:
- host name: the Office Server hostname (listed in the /etc/hosts file),
- command option: one of the 3 following command options:
- setup_send : set-up an Office Server,
- setup_get : get Office Server configuration,
- ax_reboot : reset an Office Server.
