SYSINFO.CONF(5) 	       File Formats Manual		 SYSINFO.CONF(5)

NAME
     /usr/local/etc/sysinfo.conf -- sysinfo(8) configuration file

DESCRIPTION
     The  /usr/local/etc/sysinfo.conf  file is used to overwrite the default be-
     havior of the sysinfo(8) utility.

     When  sysinfo(8)  is  invoked,  it  loads	the   configuration   from   the
     /usr/local/etc/sysinfo.conf file and overwrites the default settings of the
     utility.

     The     following	   configuration     options	 can	 be    set    in
     /usr/local/etc/sysinfo.conf:

	   PATH       Sets the environment variable PATH to make sure  that  the
		      required	systems  utilities will be found.  If any of the
		      systems utilities are located in a non-standard  location,
		      this variable should be set to include it.

	   APPDIR     Defines  a directory relative to all the other application
		      files.

	   MODPATH    Sets the path to the individual modules.

	   ALLMODS    List of all available modules.  To add a new module to the
		      sysinfo(8), it is required to add it to this  variable  in
		      order  to make it functional.  Note that the module itself
		      also has to be executable.

	   COLORS     Set this to "YES" if the output  generated  by  sysinfo(8)
		      should be colorful.  Otherwise set it to "NO".

	   INFO_MSGS  If the generated output may contain an additional informa-
		      tion, such as configuration hints and references to useful
		      manual pages, set this to "YES", otherwise set it to "NO".

	   DEBUG      The sysinfo(8) utility will generate debugging messages if
		      this variable is set to "YES".  These messages may be use-
		      ful  while  working  on  new modules or enhancing existing
		      ones.  If set to "NO", no debugging  information	will  be
		      included in the generated output.

	   VERBOSE    This variable sets the default value of the verbose level.
		      The  sysinfo(8)  utility	currently supports two levels of
		      verbose level, i.e 0 and 1.

EXAMPLES
     The following are the default values of /usr/local/etc/sysinfo.conf file.

	   PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:${PATH}
	   APPDIR=/usr/local/share/sysinfo
	   MODPATH=${APPDIR}/modules
	   ALLMODS="system bios cpu mem os storage network user packages services misc"
	   COLORS="YES"
	   INFO_MSGS="YES"
	   DEBUG="NO"
	   VERBOSE=0
