|---|
| 17 | .SH NAME |
|---|
| 18 | athinfo.defs \- Define athinfo queries |
|---|
| 19 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
|---|
| 20 | .B /etc/athena/athinfo.defs |
|---|
| 21 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 22 | The file |
|---|
| 23 | .B /etc/athena/athinfo.defs |
|---|
| 24 | defines the queries understood by the athinfo daemon (see |
|---|
| 25 | .BR athinfod (8)). |
|---|
| 26 | Blank lines and lines beginning with '#' are ignored. Each line |
|---|
| 27 | consists of a word giving the query name and a command to be executed |
|---|
| 28 | by /bin/sh in response to the query. The command executed will not |
|---|
| 29 | receive input from the athinfo client. For security reasons, the |
|---|
| 30 | command should not depend on a network filesystem. |
|---|
| 31 | .SH EXAMPLE |
|---|
| 32 | The following example defines two queries, one to display the routing |
|---|
| 33 | table and another to display the rc.conf file. |
|---|
| 34 | .PP |
|---|
| 35 | .RS |
|---|
| 36 | .nf |
|---|
| 37 | # Query Command |

|---|
