SYNOPSIS¶
gnumed [--quiet|debug] [--slave] [--text-domain=TEXTDOMAIN]
[--log-file=FILE] [--conf-file=FILE] [--lang-gettext=LANGUAGE] [--ui=UI-TYPE]
[--override-schema-check] [--local-import] [--help] [--version] [-V] [-h|?]
DESCRIPTION¶
GNUmed is a solution for keeping safe and medically sound electronic
records on a patient's health. It primarily focuses on GP offices. It is
released under the GPL.
GNUmed is written in Python with wxPython/wxWindows. Data is stored in a
PostgreSQL database. Multiple clients can work with the same database at the
same time.
OPTIONS¶
- --quiet
- Be extra quiet and show only _real_ errors in the log.
- --debug
- Pre-set the [debug mode] checkbox in the login dialog which controls
increased verbosity in the log file.
Useful for, well, debugging :-) Slower, too.
- --slave
- Pre-set the [enable remote control] checkbox in the login dialog to enable
the XML-RPC remote control feature.
- --hipaa
- Enable HIPAA features with user workflow impact.
Those features which do not affect the workflow of the user are permanently
enabled.
- --text-domain=TEXTDOMAIN
- Set this to change the name of the language file to be loaded. Note, this
does not change the directory the file is searched in, only the name of
the file where messages are loaded from. The standard textdomain is, of
course, "gnumed.mo". You need only specify the base name of the
file without the .mo extension.
- --log-file=FILE
- Use this to change the name of the log file. The default log file would be
<~/.gnumed/gnumed.log>.
- --conf-file=FILE
- Use configuration file FILE instead of searching for it in standard
locations.
- --lang-gettext=LANGUAGE
- Explicitly set the language to use in gettext translation. The very same
effect can be achieved by setting the environment variable $LANG from a
launcher script.
- --ui=UI-TYPE
- Explicitly set the user interface type. Omitting this argument will
default the interface to wxPython.
Valid values are:
wxp: wxPython Python client (default)
web: CherryPy web client
- --override-schema-check
- Continue loading the client even if the database schema version and the
client software version cannot be verified to be compatible.
- --skip-update-check
- Skip checking for client updates. This is useful during development or
when the update check URL is unavailable.
- --local-import
- At startup adjust the PYTHONPATH such that the GNUmed client is run from a
local copy of the source tree rather than from a proper system-wide
installation.
- --version, -V
- Show version information about the GNUmed client and the database it
needs.
- --help, -h, or -?
- Well, show this help.
ENVIRONMENT¶
- LANG, LC_MESSAGES, etc.
- See gettext(1) for how the various locale related environment variables
work.
FILES¶
- ~/etc/gnumed/gnumed-client.conf
- The system-wide configuration file.
- ~/.gnumed/gnumed.conf
