DESCRIPTION

21       GNUmed  is  a  solution for keeping safe and medically sound electronic
22       records on a patient's health. It primarily focuses on GP  offices.  It
23       is released under the GPL.
24
25       GNUmed  is written in Python with wxPython/wxWindows. Data is stored in
26       a PostgreSQL database. Multiple clients can work with the same database
27       at the same time.

OPTIONS

31       --quiet
32              Be extra quiet and show only _real_ errors in the log.
33
34       --debug
35              Pre-set the [debug mode] checkbox in the login dialog which con‐
36              trols increased verbosity in the log file.
37
38              Useful for, well, debugging :-)  Slower, too.
39
40       --slave
41              Pre-set the [enable remote control] checkbox in the login dialog
42              to enable the XML-RPC remote control feature.
43
44       --hipaa
45              Enable HIPAA features with user workflow impact.
46
47              Those  features which do not affect the workflow of the user are
48              permanently enabled.
49
50       --text-domain=TEXTDOMAIN
51              Set this to change the name of the language file to  be  loaded.
52              Note,  this  does  not change the directory the file is searched
53              in, only the name of the file where messages  are  loaded  from.
54              The  standard  textdomain  is,  of course, "gnumed.mo". You need
55              only specify the base name of the file without  the  .mo  exten‐
56              sion.
57
58       --log-file=FILE
59              Use  this  to  change  the name of the log file. The default log
60              file would be <~/.gnumed/gnumed.log>.
61
62       --conf-file=FILE
63              Use configuration file FILE instead of searching for it in stan‐
64              dard locations.
65
66       --lang-gettext=LANGUAGE
67              Explicitly  set  the language to use in gettext translation. The
68              very same effect can be  achieved  by  setting  the  environment
69              variable $LANG from a launcher script.
70
71       --ui=UI-TYPE
72              Explicitely  set the user interface type. Omitting this argument
73              will default the interface to wxPython.
74
75              Valid values are:
76
77                   web: CherryPy web client
78
79                   wxp: wxPython Python client
80
81       --override-schema-check
82              Continue loading the client even if the database schema  version
83              and the client software version cannot be verified to be compat‐
84              ible.
85
86       --skip-update-check
87              Skip checking for client updates. This is useful during develop‐
88              ment or when the update check URL is unavailable.
89
90       --local-import
91              At  startup adjust the PYTHONPATH such that the GNUmed client is
92              run from a local copy of the source  tree  rather  than  from  a
93              proper system-wide installation.
94
95       --version, -V
96              Show  version  information about the GNUmed client and the data‐
97              base it needs.
98
99       --help, -h, or -?
100              Well, show this help.
