Following section to with new para to replace current text
Setting db variables to default values
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
To delete the property
db accounts delprop <key> <prop>
Reset a property value
To reset to an empty value
db accounts setprop <key> <prop> ''
Angle brackets around the key and prop markers.
Split delete and reset.
English corrections.
Questions:
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...
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?
"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?
