You can chase these with something like:
# postconf -n | while read parameter equal value; do
default_value=`postconf -d $parameter 2>&1`;
if [ "$value" = "$default_value" ]; then
echo "NOTICE: Useless setting: $parameter = $value";
fi;
done
I have been running this against the base Centos 6 install that has
a main.cf with lots of comments and a few parameter lines.
postconf -n shows about 20 parameters, and when I compare these
against postconf -d only 9 of them are different.
That sounds about right. A basic postfix install needs only a few
non-default settings.
parameters like mailq_path is now /usr/bin/mailq.postfix and the
default is /usr/bin/mailq
sounds reasonable.
I look at the script and I am not able to tell what is wrong; can
you help me get it right? I think this is a real useful tool.
It's unclear what problem you are having. Please explain.
When I run the script shown above, there is no output. Yet I know
there are lines in the main.cf that differ from the defaults.
That is there are 9 lines shown in the -n option that are different
from shown in the -d option. I would think that the above script
should have printed those lines.
No. the only output of the script is the one in the 'echo' line: it only
prints anything if the value is the same in main.cf and in `postconf
-d`. To see local settings, use 'postconf -n'. that's its job.
If you really insist, here is a modified version of the script:
postconf -n | while read parameter equal value; do
default_value=`postconf -d $parameter 2>&1`;
if [ "$value" = "$default_value" ]; then
echo "NOTICE: Useless setting: $parameter = $value";
else
echo "$parameter = $value"
fi;
done
but this is too complex for the task.
I have since done this 'by hand', but I cannot get any output from this
script! Have you tried it? Is it something else to do with my Centos
6.3 environment? No output at all!
Thank you for your efforts.
