Configuring ScavengerEXA

Controlling ScavengerEXA

How to get Scavenger to [http://code.google.com/p/scavengerexa/wiki/running start at boot time] or how to [http://code.google.com/p/scavengerexa/wiki/running run each scavenger program] from the command line (in order to test a configuration change for example).

Configuration Options

A list of the possible configuration options for each application:

• [Capture program]
• [Dispatch Server]
• [Policy Server]
• [Mail Action Server]
• [Netfilter Action Server]

Where are the configuration files

The configuration files are located in the the etc/ folder of the scavenger repository in a folder named scavenger. Each application has its own subfolder in this location.

  [thomas@scavenger]# ls /opt/scavenger/etc/scavenger/
  action-mail/  action-netfilter/  capture-pcap/  dispatch/  policy/

Each application learns the location of this folder from the ETC environment value. You can therefore change the location of the scavenger/etc folder to suit your needs.

  [thomas@scavenger]# echo -e "import os\nprint 'etc is', os.environ.get('ETC','not defined')\n"   env ETC=/opt/scavenger/etc/ python
  etc is /opt/scavenger/etc/
