NAME
wwwoffle.options - configuration options for wwwoffle
DESCRIPTION
/etc/wwwoffle/wwwoffle.options contains a set of flags that determine
some of the behavior of the wwwoffle daemon, which is run every time an
internet connection comes up. It is preferable to configure these
settings using debconf via dpkg-reconfigure wwwoffle
Available options are:
ppp This will enable wwwoffle to go online and offline (or autodial
in case of a dial-on-demand connection) automatically when the
connection goes up and down. Comment this option out if you
don’t use wwwoffle over a dialup connection or you don’t want
the scripts to manipulate the mode; this forces the online mode
always (in which case the fetch option has no effect, see the
fetch option below).
fetch This will cause the wwwoffle daemon to get all the pages that
were marked for download immediately when the internet
connection comes up. Some people do not like this behaviour
since they often go online just for a quick check for new mail
and want to fetch big web pages manually once a day.
htdig This will cause htdig to maintain a searchable index of the
pages cached by wwwoffle. This used to be the default, but if a
system has htdig installed for its own web pages, it would
automatically also be used for wwwoffle, which might not have
been the intention.
nocheckconf
(Not settable via debconf)
This prevents the startup script /etc/init.d/wwwoffle from
checking wwwoffle.conf for URL specifications that end in ’/’.
If such an URL is detected, a verbose warning is given that such
a specification will only match the ’/’ URL on the host, and not
the entire host as you might expect (add ’*’ to the end for
that). However, perhaps you really want such a specification;
in that case, add a line with nocheckconf to
/etc/wwwoffle/wwwoffle.options to prevent the warning.
no-purge
(Not settable via debconf)
This prevents the daily cron job /etc/cron.daily/wwwoffle from
purging old content from the cache. Note that this means there’s
no automatic cleanup, and hence the system will fill up over
time!
