Operation

Command Line Options

A new callattendant script is placed on the system path. Use this command to start the software without specifying "python".

Usage: callattendant --config [FILE] --data-path [FOLDER]
Options:
-c, --config [FILE]       load a python configuration file
-d, --data-path [FOLDER]  path to data and configuration files
-f, --create-folder       create the data-path folder if it does not exist
-h, --help                displays this help text

Data Files

The location of the database and message files is ~/.callattendant. You can override this location via the --data-path command line option.

Running the callattendant with the --create-folder command line option will create the data folder and the initial data.

Configuration file

An example configuration is provided: app.cfg.example. A copy of this file, named app.cfg, is placed in the data folder after the first execution of the software. You can copy/rename this file to match its purpose (e.g., debug.cfg) and edit it to match your preferences.
