==== Default configuration properties ====

==== Default configuration properties ====

All properties can be set as defaults in the DefaultAffaConfig record. This is useful, when you set up many similar jobs.  

All properties can be set as defaults in a configuration file in the [GlobalAffaConfig] section. This is useful, when you set up many similar jobs.  

Example: You want to set the property 'localNice' to 19 for all jobs. Then run

Example: You want to set the property 'localNice' to 19 for all jobs. Then add the following section in one of your configuration files:

  db affa setprop DefaultAffaConfig localNice 19

and don't set this property for the jobs.

  localNice=19

Properties set in the job record overrides the defaults.

Consequently you don't need to set this property for your indiviual jobs. Properties set in the job record override the defaults.

The special property 'sendStatus' is only applicable to the DefaultAffaConfig record. It controls the status report sent by email and can be set to the values 'none', 'daily', 'weekly' or 'monthly'.  

The special properties 'sendStatus' and 'globalStatus' are only applicable to the GlobalAffaConfig section. 'sendStatus' controls the status report sent by email and can be set to the values 'never', 'daily', 'weekly' or 'monthly'.  

  db affa setprop DefaultAffaConfig sendStatus weekly

  [GlobalAffaConfig]

  affa --make-cronjobs

  globalStatus=disabled

To re-enable run, either delete the above configuration line, or set to:

All jobs can be disabled with setting the AffaGlobalDisable record type to 'yes'.

  globalStatus=jobs

  db affa set AffaGlobalDisable yes

to re-enable run:

You can also set the value to

  db affa set AffaGlobalDisable no

  globalStatus=enabled

affa --make-cronjobs

which enforces the the job execution through 'cronjobs' and overrides the specified values in the section for the specific job.
