man viconf (Administration système) - safe editor for ircd-hybrid configuration files
NAME
viconf, viklines, vimotd - safe editor for ircd-hybrid configuration files
SYNOPSIS
viconf
DESCRIPTION
viconf is a program that locks the ircd.conf file in /etc/ircd-hybrid for editing by a privileged user, to avoid corruption if the ircd wishes to write to it as well.
viklines is simply viconf for ircd-hybrid's klines.conf file. vimotd edits the ircd.motd.
The above commands are deprecated because there is no more valid reason to have to lock ircd.conf or klines.conf for writing, since the ircd does not write to these until it restarts or shuts down.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
OPTIONS
This program takes no command line arguments that are available to a user.
