gspl-hostedit - edit GNUspool host table

# NAME

gspl-hostedit - edit GNUspool host table

# SYNOPSIS

gspl-hostedit [ -o file ] [ -s arg ] [ -I ] [ file ]

# DESCRIPTION

gspl-hostedit is a simple curses-based program to edit host tables for gnuspool.hosts, the host table for GNUspool.

It knows about local addresses (selecting the correct IP address for a machine with different IPs on different networks), Windows clients, DHCP, trusted hosts, manual connections, probes and timeouts.

Input is taken from standard input unless a file name is given, and output is to standard output unless the -o option is given.

Normally this would be run as follows:

            gspl-hostedit -I /usr/local/etc/gnuspool.hosts

You will usually have to stop and restart GNUspool after you have done this so that all parts of the system "know" about the new hosts, however this may not be necessary in all cases, you may only have to "`kill -1`" the process id of the xtnetserv process.

# OPTIONS

  Output to the named file rather than Standard Output

-s char

  Where char is `h` or `i`, sort display by host name or by IP address.
