Description
Example
--silent
-s
This sets that the
setup script will run in
silent mode, drawing
the configuration
information from a file
(set with the
--file
parameter) or from
arguments passed
in the command
line rather than
interactively.
--file=
name
-f
name
This sets the path
and name of the file
which contains the
configuration settings
for the new Directory
Server instance. This
can be used with the
--silent
parameter;
if used alone, it sets the
default values for the
setup prompts.
The
.inf
parameters
are described in
Section 5.5.5.1, “.inf
File Directives”
.
/usr/sbin/setup-ds-
admin.pl -f /export/
sample.inf
--debug
-d[dddd]
This parameter
turns on debugging
information. For the
-d
flag, increasing
the number of d's
increases the debug
level.
--keepcache
-k
This saves the
temporary installation
file (
.inf
) that is
created when the setup
script is run. This file
can then be reused for
a silent setup. This file
is always generated,
but is usually deleted
once the install is
complete. The file
is created as a log
file named
/tmp/
setup
random
.inf
,
