Re: [Postfixadmin-devel] Hello, Projects Postfixadmin (vacation.pl ) ADD config.ini

[David G. <da...@co...>]

Hi Jose,

Thanks for the below; if you intend to send any more stuff 'our' way,
please send to the postfixadmin-devel mailing list.

I'm personally happy to merge the vacation.pl stuff (at least .ini
file support) but I'm not sure I like the config directory (i'd rather
config stuff was in /etc/postfixadmin or something .... )

thanks,
David.

Hello,

The latest vacation.pl already has support for reading the configuration 
from /etc/mail/postfixadmin/vacation.conf. This file has to be in perl 
syntax (instead of .ini format), for example

    $db_username = 'vacation';
    $db_password = 'topsecret';

I'm not sure if switching to INI format is really useful. Yes, it is a 
widely known file format, but people who setup a mail server should be 
able to write valid perl files ;-)

In the future, I plan to have config files for every script we ship. 
This includes also some bash scripts which will have a bash-style 
key=value config file since parsing INI files in bash isn't that 
easy ;-)

If we really want to have a common config file format for everything, 
then I'd vote for using
    key=value
    key2=another value
files. These are quite easy to parse in perl and can just be source'd in 
bash. INI files have the disadvantage that the "header" will cause 
problems in bash.
