REFDB-INIT(8) RefDB Manual REFDB-INIT(8) NAME refdb-init - RefDB setup script SYNOPSIS refdb-init DESCRIPTION refdb-init is an interactive shell script that guides the system adminis- trator through the initial setup of RefDB(7). refdb-init asks all necessary questions and performs all necessary checks before any changes are commit- ted. Your confirmation is required before your system will be touched. As many of the operations performed by this script require root permission, you have to run this script from a privileged account. While refdb-init does check for an existing installation of RefDB and of- fers to back up existing configuration files, it is not yet designed to up- grade an installation appropriately. If used to upgrade an existing instal- lation, the administrator is responsible to back up and restore data that may be overwritten during the setup. refdb-init performs the following tasks (you can interactively skip some of the tasks): * Creates the main database refdb for the selected database engine. If a copy of the main database already exists, it asks for permission to delete this database before proceeding. * Creates a configuration file for refdbd(1), the RefDB application server. If the file already exists, it will keep a copy of this version. * Creates a configuration file for refdba(1), the RefDB administrative client, in the current login account. If the file already exists, it will keep a copy of this version. * Starts refdbd, the RefDB application server * Loads the bibliography and citation styles shipped with RefDB * Creates a reference database * Creates a database user with permissions to work with the reference database FILES /usr/local/etc/refdb/refdbdrc The configuration file for refdbd /root/.refdba The configuration file for refdba for the root account SEE ALSO RefDB (7), refdbd (1).
