Actions and Events

Actions and Events are used to apply configuration changes and most of them are fired through the panels of the server-manager. An event can consist of multiple actions.

To fire an event from the SME Server shell you simply type

 signal-event event-name

To reboot your server for instance you would type:

  signal-event reboot

More information about Actions and Events can be found in the SME Server Developer's Guide.

Custom Templates

Custom templates allow for site specific overrides of normal behaviour.

For example make a change to the firewall.

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq

cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq/35transproxy \
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq/

nano -w nano -w /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq/35transproxy

signal-event remoteaccess-update
