Ubuntu Manpage: whereami.conf — configuration file for whereami

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.

FILES

       /etc/whereami/whereami.conf
                 The file we are talking about in this here manpage.

       /etc/whereami/whereiam.sh
                 The script that is built based on the information in this configuration file and
                 then executed by whereami.

LIMITATIONS

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