postconf [no args]: print the entire running config postconf <var-name>: print just that variable. -h to omit the 'name=' part. postconf -d: print the default values of known config variables postconf -n: print only non-default or explicitly set variables postconf -e: edit a config variable There are other options to list supported map types and locking methods that wouldn't be as relevant to a theoretical clamconf(1). It's scripting-friendly, and gives a standard set of installation info to post to the ML for help There are plenty of apps I have to deal with that I wish had an equivalent of postconf. cheers rob </delurk> _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
