This is NOT PRODUCTION QUALITY software yet. Use at your own risk. You have been warned.

gnumed [--quiet|debug] [--talkback] [--text-domain=TEXTDOMAIN] [--log-file=FILE] [--conf-file=FILE] [--unicode-gettext=0|1] [--lang-gettext=LANGUAGE] [--help] [-h|?]

GNUmed is a solution for managing a medical practice. It primarily focuses on GP offices. It is released under the GPL.

GNUmed is written in Python with wxPython/wxWindows. Data is stored in PostgreSQL databases possibly distributed onto several machines.

--quiet

Be extra quiet and show only _real_ errors in the log.

--debug

Be extra verbose and report nearly everything that's going on. Useful for, well, debugging :-)

--talkback

Run the client and upon exiting run a talkback client where you can enter a comment and send the log off to the bug hunters. Very useful when used in conjunction with --debug.

--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.

--unicode-gettext=0|1

Use unicode (1) or non-unicode (0) gettext. This is needed for older (< 2.5) and non-unicode compiled wxWidgets/wxPython libraries. The default is 1, eg. do use unicode.

--lang-gettext=LANGUAGE

Explicitely 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.

--help, -h, or -?

Well, show this help.

GNUMED_DIR

If GNUMED_DIR is set it will be included in the list of pathes to be searched for for various components of GNUmed.

LANG, LC_MESSAGES, etc.

See gettext(1) for how the various locale related environment variables work.

/usr/share/gnumed/

Nearly all files live below this directory.

~/.gnumed/gnumed.log

The default log file.

~/.gnumed/gnumed.conf

The default configuration file.

plugins.conf

Defines which plugins to load in which order. Lives in any of the plugin directories.

A lot of functionality is still missing. However, to make up for that, we deliver a plethora of bugs for your amusement :-)
