Description Dan Taylor 2004-02-13 11:13:44 EST

Description of problem:
redhat-switch-mail does not seem to accept command line parameters 
and will always dump you to an interactive curses-based or x-based 
interface.  Having it accept a parameter from the command line would 
allow users to call this tool in the %post of a kickstart.  If the 
parameter is invalid, it should return error or usage info rather 
than dumping to the interactive mode (so kickstart wont hang).

Comment 1 Ngo Than 2004-02-15 05:54:41 EST

if you want to use command line paramaters, you should use alternates,
which is used as backend in redhat-switch-mail.

I don't think it will make sence to add this feature there.
