viconf, viklines, vimotd -- safe editor for ircd-hybrid configuration files
SYNOPSIS
viconf
DESCRIPTION
viconf is a program that locks the ircd.conf
file in /etc/ircd-hybrid for editing by a privileged user, to avoid
corruption if the ircd wishes to write to it as well.
viklines is simply viconf for ircd-hybrid's
klines.conf file. vimotd edits the ircd.motd.
The above commands are deprecated
because there is no
more valid
reason to have to lock ircd.conf or klines.conf for writing, since the
ircd does not write to these until it restarts or shuts down.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
OPTIONS
This program takes no command line arguments that
are available to a user.
