P*Wcal 1.0 documentation

Configuring P*Wcal

pwcal.conf contains runtime configuration data for P*Wcal daemon pwcald. P*Wcal comes with a sample configuration file which lists all possible parameters and their default values together with brief comments.

If you change pwcal.conf, you need to restart wcald.

pwcal.conf is located at the same place as wcal.conf. If you want to put pwcal.conf elsewhere, you must change variable definition at top of pwcald.

File format

Lines containing nothing or only white space, and lines starting with # are ignored. All other lines contain a parameter definition. White space is allowed (but not required) at beginning and end of lines and between keywords (but not within multi word keywords such as log file).

Parameter definitions use the most common single line format. They start with the parameter name (which may consist of multiple words), then comes an equal to sign (=), and the rest of the line is the parameter value. No comments are allowed at end of the lines.

Configurable parameters

log file

Give the name of the log file of pwcald. If this resource is not set, no log file is generated. The default value is /tmp/pwcald.log.
