6 flexd.conf - flexd configuration file.
7
9 flexd.conf file is read by flexd at program startup and is used to mod‐
10 ify the behaviour of the robot.
11
12 The lines within flexd.conf must either be a comment line, which starts
13 with a # in the first column, or one of the commands listed below. Com‐
14 mands and arguments are delimited by white space. Arguments can contain
15 white space if they are enclosed in double quotes. Also C-style escapes
16 (\n, \x0A, \012 etc.) are parsed within double quotes.
17
18 Available configuration commands are:
19
20 MyCall <xx#xx>
21 Sets up the callsign AND ssid you wish to use to connect
22 to your flexnet neighbor for destinations import. Do NOT
23 use an ssid of your ax25 interface which you'll be
24 polling from as you may create a loop between your system
25 and the flexnet neighbor. An example: MyCall kb1uuu-13
26
27 PollInterval <time/secs>
28 This string tells the robot how many times in SECONDS to
29 poll your flexnet neighbor and import their destination
30 table. In my production environment 300 (or 5 minutes)
31 seemed to be fine. I would NOT go below 180 (3 minutes)
32 as you may create more traffic than needed.
33
34 FlexGate <xx#xx-##>
35 This is the callsign of your flexnet neighbor. The robot
36 will read this callsign-ssid and attempt a connect to it
37 every ## minutes assigned in PollInterval <time/mins>. Be
38 sure you do NOT configure it to connect to a service
39 linked within the flexnet neighbor such as a BBS! You
40 will NOT receive any destinations to your system that way
41 and the BBS will think you're attempting a feed.
