| 165 | | == Specifying, or creating, a config == |
| 166 | | |
| 167 | | As stated, every {{{ippToPsps}}} program takes a config argument. This can be one of three things: |
| 168 | | |
| 169 | | * the name of a particular config currently in the [wiki:ippToPsps_Database#Theconfigtable config table of the database], meaning that program will run using only that config |
| 170 | | * '''all''' meaning that program will cycle through all 'active' configs |
| 171 | | * '''edit''' allows the user to edit, or create, a config then the program proceeds to use that config |
| 172 | | |
| 173 | | The 'all' option is handy for programs like {{{metrics.py}}} or {{{cleanup.py}}}; instead of having an intance of these programs per config, one instance can cycle through them all. The {{{edit}}} option can be used when creating a config for the first time, or to edit an existing one. |
