YAKUP.CONF(5)

NAME

yakup.conf - the optional yakup(1) configuration file

SYNOPSIS

The yakup.conf configuration file sets yakup(1) execution parameters and default option values.

FILE FORMAT

Configuration files are sourced by the yakup(1) shell script, the format must therefore conform to the bash(1) shell syntax. The configuration files contain a list of shell variable assignments.

CONFIGURATION FILE VARIABLES

Configuration file shell variable assignments set yakup(1) command option values. Assignment precedence is detailed in the OPTION VALUES section of the yakup(1) man page. Here's a list of available configuration file variables:

ARCHIVE_DIR
CDR_DIR
CDRECORD_OPTS
CDR_SIZE
CDRW_DIR
CDRW_SIZE
COMPRESSION
DEV
DISK1_PROMPT
DVD_DIR
DVD_SIZE
EXCLUDE_FILE
INCLUDE_FILE
LOCK_TRAY
LOG_FILE
MEDIA
MKISOFS_OPTS
PREFIX
RESTORE_DIR
VOLUME_ID

The values of CDR_DIR, CDRW_DIR and DVD_DIR variables set the default —media-dir option value for media types cdr, cdrw and dvd respectively.
The values of CDR_SIZE, CDRW_SIZE and DVD_SIZE variables set the default —chunk-size option value for media types cdr, cdrw and dvd respectively.
See the corresponding yakup(1) options for descriptions of the remaining variables.
