SPLASHY-CONFIG.XML(5) Splashy POSIX boot splash system SPLASHY-CONFIG.XML(5)
NAME
Splashy - a user-mode, POSIX and LSB compliant, boot splashing system for UNIX.
SYNOPSIS
/etc/splashy/config.xml - Splashy's configuration file
DESCRIPTION
/etc/splashy/config.xml sets splashy's behaviour during boot, shutdown inter-runlevel and error. It is an XML file where all values are
enclosed in tags
A tag is anything enclosed between < and >. An opening tag has the form "<tag>" while a closing tag has its name preceded with a backslash
() character as in "< ag>"
Tags can be considered as folders. Each tag either contains tags or contains a value
The value of the final tag affects in the field defined by its parents tags
The following tag folders are supported:
<splashy>
This tag is mandatory. It contains all splashy's configuration values, listed below.
The following values are supported:
<themes>
Absolute path to the directory containing the installed splashy themes. Default: /etc/splashy/themes
<current_theme>
Name of the theme to use. It must be the name of a directory in <themes>'s value's directory. Default: default
<default_theme>
Full path to a theme to fall back to if the theme specified in <current_theme>'s value can't be found. Default:
/etc/splashy/themes/default
<pid> Full path to the PID file splashy will use to store its PID so that other processes can know if it is running. Default:
/var/run/splashy.pid
Comments can be introduced by enclsing them between <!-- and -->. Blank lines are also ignored
EXAMPLES
The following is a complete and valid splashy configuration file:
<splashy>
<!-- themes directory: conventional path /etc/splashy/themes -->
<themes>/etc/splashy/themes</themes>
<!-- current theme could be relative the themes defined above or full path -->
<current_theme>default</current_theme>
<!-- full path to theme to fall back in case of problems. DO NOT CHANGE -->
<default_theme>/etc/splashy/themes/default</default_theme>
<!-- this defaults should be ok -->
<pid>/var/run/splashy.pid</pid>
</splashy>
NOTES
Values are refered by their tag name prefixed with all of its parent tag's names. For example: "/splashy/pid"
