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.
