NAME
       SuSEconfig - Configure system from variables set in /etc/sysconfig/ files

SYNOPSIS
       SuSEconfig [-verbose|-quick|-nonewpackage|-force|
		   -norestarts|-nomodule|-module module]

DESCRIPTION
       SuSEconfig  configures  the  system  according to the variables that are set in the various "/etc/sysconfig/" files.  It uses the subsystem
       specific scripts in "/sbin/conf.d/" to configure the various subsystems.  For example the variables in "/etc/sysconfig/postfix" are  evalu-
       ated  by the script "/sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.postfix".  SuSEconfig acts as a backend for YaST2 and activates the configuration changes made
       by YaST2.

       These options are available:

       -verbose
	      Show what is happening.

       -quick Does not rebuild kernel module dependencies. Is also set by the -module option.

       -nonewpackage
	      Skips configuration modules that have to be run only when a package is newly installed.

       -force Not used

       -norestarts
	      Not used

       -nomodule
	      Does not execute the subsystem specific modules.

       -module modulename
	      Runs SuSEconfig with the configuration module for a specific subsystem instead of running all modules.

NOTE
       SuSEconfig must be run by the root user.

FILES
