NAME¶
mkdb - create a new GNATS database
SYNOPSIS¶
- mkdb databasename
DESCRIPTION¶
Looks up
databasename in the GNATS
databases file and creates a
database in the location specified there.
mkdb creates the directory
and populates it with a set of default files copied from the
/usr/share/gnats/defaults directory.
Note the implications of this: an entry in
databases must be created
before
mkdb is run.
The command should be run as the GNATS user, by default
gnats.
OPTIONS¶
- databasename
- Specifies the name of the database to be created.
