4.6 Storing user profile settings¶

• 4.6 Storing user profile settings
• ~/.calculate/ini.env
• ~/.calculate/desktop.env
• ~/.calculate/server.env
• ~/.logout

~/.calculate/ini.env¶

This file is intended to store variables used by the ini() function. Its format is samba.

Example:

[main]
var1 = test VAR 1

Note:

• Any section name is accepted (though the default for it is main);
• Any variable name is accepted.

~/.calculate/desktop.env¶

This file stores client options. Its format is samba.

Example:

[rsync]
files = <number_of_files_in_user_profile>
exitcode = <rsync_exit_code_if_error>

[main]
status = success
version = 2.1.11

Sections:

• rsync is the Rsync-related section;
• main is the main options section.

Options:

• status stands for status (error, process, success are the possible values);
• version stands for the client version.

~/.calculate/server.env¶

This file is used in transferring options to the server. Its format is plasma.

Example: changing a user password on the server (with the unix and plasma services):

[command][passwd_samba]
run=on
unix_hash=<ssha_hash_of_new_unix_password>
samba_lm_hash=<lm_hash_of_new_samba_password>
samba_nt_hash=<nt_hash_of_new_samba_password>
samba_nt_hash_old=<nt_hash_of_old_samba_password>
status=process
date=YYYY-mm-dd_HH:MM:SS

Creating an incremental archive on the server:

[command][pack_profile]
run=on
status=process
date=YYYY-mm-dd_HH:MM:SS

• action is the command for creating the archive;
• status stands for the command status (error, process, success are the possible values).

~/.logout¶

Deprecated. This file stores the client status (thus assuring compatibility with old server and client versions). It contains one of the following : ERROR, PROCESS, or SUCCESS.

Example:

ERROR

This is the ~/.logout file contents if an error should occur.
