=== Setting db variables to default values ===

e.g. iptables logging
Any db variable that has a default value can be reset to the default by deleting the variable entirely, then re-initializing the default database values as follows:
 
config delprop <key> <prop>
 
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/initialize-default-databases
 
  
==== Delete a property value ====
+
Default = most
To delete the property
+
Options =  - some, all
db accounts delprop <key> <prop>
 
 
 
==== Reset a property value ====
 
To reset to an empty value
 
  db accounts setprop <key> <prop> <nowiki>''</nowiki>

Questions:<br />
 
Does initialize-default-databases only set the defaults on poperties that are missing? If so I think that needs to be stated, I'd not want to set the entire db to defaults...
 
 
 
Yes, my reading is that it just returns defaults on those missing.
 
 
 
The angle brackets is how I always indicate that something is a marker rather than what you actually type. What is the contribs.org style?
 
 
 
Cool, do it..
 
 
 
"config ..."  or "db accounts ...", let's be consistent please. "db accounts ..." would only work if the <key> <prop> is in the accounts db wouldn't it? "config ..." works across all the db's doesn't it?<br />
