DESCRIPTION¶
file-pr files incoming Problem Reports in the GNATS database, sends
acknowledgments to approriate parties and logs database activity.
file-pr assigns the Problem Report an identification number and then
files it in the GNATS database either under the category specified in the
Category field of the PR, or under the default category if the Category field
is nonexistent or contains an invalid category name.
For the default GNATS configuration, the person responsible for that category
and the person responsible for the submitter site where the PR originated
receive a copy of the PR in its entirety. Optionally, the originator of the PR
receives an acknowledgment that the PR arrived and was filed
OPTIONS¶
- -f file, --filename=file
- Accept file as input; if this option is not present, standard input
is used.
- -h, --help
- Display usage summary for file-pr.
- -V, --version
- Display version number for file-pr.
- -d, --database
- Specifies the database to which the PR is to be submitted. If no database

overrides the database specified in the GNATSDB environment
variable.
GNATS network options:¶
- -H, --host
- Hostname of the GNATS server.
- -P, --port
- The port that the GNATS server runs on.
- -v, --username
- Username used to log into the GNATS server.
- -w, --passwd

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES¶
The
GNATSDB environment variable is used to determine which database to
use. For a local database, it contains the name of the database to access.
For network access via
gnatsd, it contains a colon-separated list of
strings that describe the remote database, in the form
- server:port:databasename:username:password
Any of the fields may be omitted, but at least one colon must appear; otherwise,
the value is assumed to be the name of a local database.
If
GNATSDB is not set, it is assumed that the database is local and that
its name is
default.
