NAME¶
tkaeca - GUI interface for aeca, using TCL/TK
SYNOPSIS¶
tkaeca
DESCRIPTION¶
The
tkaeca command is used to provide a GUI interface to
aeca(1).
Its use should be self-evident to anyone familiar with Aegis.
The top line of the screen contains button for selecting the project and the
change. They will be defaulted whenever possible, using the usual Aegis
defaulting rules. Click on the buttons to obtain a pick list if you want to
change; then double-click an item to select it. (I would have used
tk_optionMenu, but it doesn't have a scroll bar, even when all the items don't
fit on the screen.)
The middle section contains text entry areas, for editing the
brief_description and
description fields of the change
attributes. The text wraps in a natural way, both here and in (say) the
“
tkaeca -list chand details” listing, so only use
newlines to indicate end-of-paragraph.
The lower section contains two boxes. The first is the testing required for the
change - select as many or as few as is appropriate. The second a set of radio
buttons to select the change cause - pick one.
The “OK” and “Cancel” buttons do what you expect.
The cancel button simply quits. The OK button runs the
aeca(1) command
- if anything goes wrong (
e.g. asking for testing exemptions you can't
have) then the error message will be displayed in the message area at the
bottom of the window.
OPTIONS¶
There are no command line options. It is best to run this command in the
background.
EXIT STATUS¶
The
tkaeca command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The
tkaeca command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no
errors.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES¶
See
aegis(1) for a list of environment variables which may affect this
command. See
aepconf(5) for the project configuration file's
project_specific field for how to set environment variables for all
commands executed by Aegis.
