NAME

       whereami.conf — configuration file for whereami

DESCRIPTION

       The  whereami.conf  file  specifies  what  whereami      does  on leaving, remaining at or
       arriving at locations.

       (Locations are detected by whereami according to specifications in the detect.conf file.)

       Comments are lines starting with the `#' character.  Leading whitespace is ignored on  all
       lines, including comment lines.

       Other lines are of the form:

       -location action
                 The  action  is performed if your system was previously at this location, but is
                 now at another location.

       =location action
                 The action is performed if your system is now at this location.

       +location action
                 The action is performed if  your  system  is  now  at  this  location,  but  was
                 previously at another location.

       !location action
                 The action is performed if your system is not at this location.

HELPER SCRIPTS

       In  addition to the normal commands available within any shell script, whereami includes a
       number of helper scripts which may be useful.

       setmailrelay (none | queue [smarthost] | smarthost)
                 Set the  mail  relay  (i.e.  smarthost)  to  "none"  if  you  have  a  permanent
                 connection, and can send e-mail directly to the recipient's mailserver.

                 If  you  are  not connected, set the relay to "queue" (optionally for a specific
                 smarthost).

                 Or send all mail to a specific smarthost, if that  is  what  you  need  in  this
                 location.

       setresolver <resolv.conf stanza>
                 The <resolv.conf stanza> should be something like: search localhost mydomain.com
                 nameserver 1.2.3.4 (all on one line) to specify the domain search path  and  the
                 nameserver to use.

                 If  you  have  resolvconf  installed,  this  script  will interface with that to
                 manupulate the /etc/resolv.conf  file  and  control  DNS  resolution.   This  is
                 recommended.

                 If  you  are  not  using  resolvconf,  then  this  will  directly  rewrite  your
                 /etc/resolv.conf file, inserting a section similar to the manner in  which  DHCP
                 works.

       setproxy (start | stop | none | <upstream_proxy>)
                 Use  this  script to reconfigure your local oops           or squid proxy server
                 to use a specific upstream proxy, no upstream proxy, or to stop the proxy server
                 completely.

                 The  upstream proxy should be specified as "<name or ip> <port>", e.g.: setproxy
                 192.168.55.3 3128

                 For a local squid proxy you can  optionally  also  provide  a  complete  set  of
                 parameters  for  the  "cache_peer"  directive  (without  the  "cache_peer"  name
                 itself).  See the squid.conf file  for  full  details  of  this  syntax.   e.g.:
                 setproxy 192.168.55.3 parent 3128 3140 login=user:password

       settimezone timezone
                 Use this to set your timezone differently.

       masqmail_route route_name
                 Use this to reconfigure masqmail to use a different masqmail routing.

                 then executed by whereami.

LIMITATIONS

       There should be a configuration program so that the user does not have to  do  any  script
       programming.
