NAME 🖥️ update-exim4.conf.template 🖥️

exim4.conf.template - Regenerate exim4 configuration file template.

SYNOPSIS

update-exim4.conf.template [-h|–help] [-n|–nobackup] [-o|–output file] [-r|–run]

OPTIONS

-h|–help
Show short help message and exit

-n|–nobackup
Overwrite existing file, instead of keeping it as /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template.bak.random-number

-o|–output file
Write output to file instead of /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template.

-r|–run
Actually do something. If this option is not specified update-exim4.conf.template will exit immediately. This option was introduced because update-exim4.conf.template overwrites configuration files.

DESCRIPTION

The script update-exim4.conf.template regenerates the main configuration file template /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template from the configuration snippets in the /etc/exim4/conf.d directory tree.

This process will overwrite all local changes in /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template and might be useful if there are local changes in the /etc/exim4/conf.d directory tree, for example by a new mail related package dropping its own configuration snippets in there.

update-exim4.conf.template ignores all files in the conf.d directory that have a filename which does not consist only of letters, numbers, underscores and hyphens ([:alnum:]_-), similar to run-parts(8). For easy interaction with packages extending Exim additionally /etc/exim4/conf.d/foo/bar.rul is used instead of /etc/exim4/conf.d/foo/bar if it exists!

ENVIRONMENT

If CONFDIR is set update-exim4.conf.template will search for the input files below $CONFDIR/conf.d instead of /etc/exim4/conf.d/ and will write the output to $CONFDIR/exim4.conf.template instead of to /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template (unless overridden with -o or –output).

BUGS

This manual page needs a major re-work. If somebody knows better groff than us and has more experience in writing manual pages, any patches would be greatly appreciated.
