update-conf.py 0.4.1

Generate config files from 'conf.d' like directories

Generate config files from conf.d like directories.

Split your config file into smaller files in a conf.d like directory. The generated config file will be the concatenation of all splitted config files (also called snippets). The spplited files will be merged in the lexical order of their names.

Files ending with .bak, .old and other similar terminations will be ignored.

This project was based in the update-conf.d project.

Install

This project requires Python 2.6 or newer.

PS: It’s possible to use Python 3 also. However, it is not well tested.

In Ubuntu/Debian:

apt-get install python

To install:

pip install update-conf.py

It’s possible to clone the project in Github and install it via setuptools:

git clone [e-mail]:rarylson/update-conf.py.git
cd update-conf.py
python setup.py install

Usage

If you run:

update-conf.py -f /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

The script will merge the splitted config files in the directory /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.d into the file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.

If the directory containing the splitted files uses a diferent name pattern, you can pass its name as an argument:

update-conf.py -f /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf -d /etc/snmp/snmpd.d

It’s also possible to define frequent used options in a config file (/etc/update-conf.py.conf). For example:

[snmpd]
file = /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
dir = /etc/snmp/snmpd.d

Now, you can run:

update-conf.py -n snmpd

To get help:

update-conf.py --help
