NAME

       gspl-hostedit - edit GNUspool host table

       gspl-xhostedit - edit GNUspool host table

SYNOPSIS

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

       gspl-xhostedit [ -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.

       gspl-xhostedit is a similar program using GTK+

       They know 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 they 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 are identical in each case (except gspl-xhostedit also takes options parsed by
       GTK+).

OPTIONS

       -o file 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.

       -I      Edit in place; a file argument must be given.

COMMANDS

       The following command keys are used from within the screen displayed by gspl-hostedit. As
       with other GNUspool commands, any commands which operate upon an existing item will do so
       with the item to which the cursor is moved. gspl-xhostedit takes similar commands as menu
       entries.

       k or cursor up
           Move cursor up.

       j or cursor down
           Move cursor down.

       N or next page
           Scroll down a screenful.

       P or previous page
           Scroll up a screenful.

       q   Quit and write hosts file.

       a   Create a new hosts entry.

       c   Edit the selected hosts entry.

       d   Delete the selected hosts entry.
