--- layout: page title: oputil --- ## The oputil CLI ENiGMA½ comes with `oputil.js` henceforth known as `oputil`, a command line interface (CLI) tool for sysops to perform general system and user administration. You likely used oputil to do the initial ENiGMA configuration. Let's look the main help output as per this writing: ``` usage: oputil.js [--version] [--help] [] global args: -c, --config PATH specify config path (./config/) -n, --no-prompt assume defaults/don't prompt for input where possible commands: user user utilities config config file management fb file base management mb message base management ``` Commands break up operations by groups: | Command | Description | |-----------|---------------| | `user` | User management | | `config` | System configuration and maintenance | | `fb` | File base configuration and management | | `mb` | Message base configuration and management | Global arguments apply to most commands and actions: * `--config`: Specify configuration directory if it is not the default of `./config/`. * `--no-prompt`: Assume defaults and do not prompt when posisible. Type `./oputil.js --help` for additional help on a particular command. The following sections will describe them. ## User The `user` command covers various user operations. ``` usage: oputil.js user [] actions: info USERNAME display information about a user pw USERNAME PASSWORD set a user's password aliases: password, passwd rm USERNAME permanently removes user from system aliases: remove, delete, del rename USERNAME NEWNAME rename a user aliases: mv activate USERNAME set status to active deactivate USERNAME set status to inactive disable USERNAME set status to disabled lock USERNAME set status to locked group USERNAME [+|-]GROUP adds (+) or removes (-) user from a group ``` | Action | Description | Examples | Aliases | |-----------|-------------------|---------------------------------------|-----------| | `info` | Display user information| `./oputil.js user info joeuser` | N/A | | `pw` | Set password | `./oputil.js user pw joeuser s3cr37` | `passwd`, `password` | | `rm` | Removes user | `./oputil.js user del joeuser` | `remove`, `del`, `delete` | | `rename` | Renames a user | `./oputil.js user rename joeuser joe` | `mv` | | `activate` | Activates user | `./oputil.js user activate joeuser` | N/A | | `deactivate` | Deactivates user | `./oputil.js user deactivate joeuser` | N/A | | `disable` | Disables user (user will not be able to login) | `./oputil.js user disable joeuser` | N/A | | `lock` | Locks the user account (prevents logins) | `./oputil.js user lock joeuser` | N/A | | `group` | Modifies users group membership | Add to group: `./oputil.js user group joeuser +derp`
Remove from group: `./oputil.js user group joeuser -derp` | N/A | ## Configuration The `config` command allows sysops to perform various system configuration and maintenance tasks. ``` usage: oputil.js config [] actions: new generate a new/initial configuration cat cat current configuration to stdout cat args: --no-color disable color --no-comments strip any comments ``` | Action | Description | Examples | |-----------|-------------------|---------------------------------------| | `new` | Generates a new/initial configuration | `./oputil.js config new` (follow the prompts) | | `cat` | Pretty prints current `config.hjson` configuration to stdout. | `./oputil.js config cat` | ## File Base Management The `fb` command provides a powerful file base management interface. ``` usage: oputil.js fb [] actions: scan AREA_TAG[@STORAGE_TAG] scan specified area may also contain optional GLOB as last parameter, for example: scan some_area *.zip info CRITERIA display information about areas and/or files matching CRITERIA. mv SRC [SRC...] DST move entry(s) from SRC to DST SRC: FILENAME_WC|SHA|FILE_ID|AREA_TAG[@STORAGE_TAG] DST: AREA_TAG[@STORAGE_TAG] rm SRC [SRC...] remove entry(s) from the system matching SRC SRC: FILENAME_WC|SHA|FILE_ID|AREA_TAG[@STORAGE_TAG] desc CRITERIA sets a new file description for file base entry matching CRITERIA. Launches an external editor using $VISUAL, $EDITOR, or vim/notepad. import-areas FILEGATE.ZXX import file base areas using FileGate RAID type format scan args: --tags TAG1,TAG2,... specify tag(s) to assign to discovered entries --desc-file [PATH] prefer file descriptions from supplied path over other other sources such as FILE_ID.DIZ. Path must point to a valid FILES.BBS or DESCRIPT.ION file. --update attempt to update information for existing entries --quick perform quick scan info args: --show-desc display short description, if any remove args: --phys-file also remove underlying physical file import-areas args: --type TYPE sets import areas type. valid options are "zxx" or "na" --create-dirs create backing storage directories general information: AREA_TAG[@STORAGE_TAG] can specify an area tag and optionally, a storage specific tag example: retro@bbs CRITERIA file base entry criteria. in general, can be AREA_TAG, SHA, FILE_ID, or FILENAME_WC. FILENAME_WC filename with * and ? wildcard support. may match 0:n entries SHA full or partial SHA-256 FILE_ID a file identifier. see file.sqlite3 ``` #### Scan File Area The `scan` action can (re)scan a file area for new entries as well as update (`--update`) existing entry records (description, etc.). When scanning, a valid area tag must be specified. Optionally, storage tag may also be supplied in order to scan a specific filesystem location using the `@the_storage_tag` syntax. If a [GLOB](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/glob.7.html) is supplied as the last argument, only file entries with filenames matching will be processed. ##### Examples Performing a quick scan of a specific area's storage location ("retro_warez", "retro_warez_games) matching only *.zip extensions: ```bash $ ./oputil.js fb scan --quick retro_warez@retro_warez_games *.zip` ``` Update all entries in the "artscene" area supplying the file tags "artscene", and "textmode". ```bash $ ./oputil.js fb scan --update --quick --tags artscene,textmode artscene` ``` Scan "oldschoolbbs" area using the description file at "/path/to/DESCRIPT.ION": ``` $ ./oputil.js fb scan --desc-file /path/to/DESCRIPT.ION oldschoolbbs ``` #### Retrieve Information The `info` action can retrieve information about an area or file entry(s). ##### Examples Information about a particular area: ```bash ./oputil.js fb info retro_pc areaTag: retro_pc name: Retro PC desc: Oldschool / retro PC storageTag: retro_pc_tdc_1990 => /file_base/dos/tdc/1990 storageTag: retro_pc_tdc_1991 => /file_base/dos/tdc/1991 storageTag: retro_pc_tdc_1992 => /file_base/dos/tdc/1992 storageTag: retro_pc_tdc_1993 => /file_base/dos/tdc/1993 ``` Perhaps we want to fetch some information about a file in which we know piece of the filename: ```bash ./oputil.js fb info "impulse*" file_id: 143 sha_256: 547299301254ccd73eba4c0ec9cd6ab8c5929fbb655e72c4cc842f11332792d4 area_tag: impulse_project storage_tag: impulse_project path: /file_base/impulse_project/impulseproject01.tar.gz hashTags: impulse.project,8bit.music,cid uploaded: 2018-03-10T11:36:41-07:00 dl_count: 23 archive_type: application/gzip byte_size: 114313 est_release_year: 2015 file_crc32: fc6655d file_md5: 3455f74bbbf9539e69bd38f45e039a4e file_sha1: 558fab3b49a8ac302486e023a3c2a86bd4e4b948 ``` ### Importing FileGate RAID Style Areas Given a FileGate "RAID" style `FILEGATE.ZXX` file, one can import areas. This format also often comes in FTN-style info packs in the form of a `.NA` file i.e.: `FILEBONE.NA`. #### Example ```bash ./oputil.js fb import-areas FILEGATE.ZXX --create-dirs ``` -or- ```bash # fsxNet info packs contain a FSX_FILE.NA file ./oputil.js fb import-areas FSX_FILE.NA --create-dirs --type NA ``` The above command will process FILEGATE.ZXX creating areas and backing directories. Directories created are relative to the `fileBase.areaStoragePrefix` `config.hjson` setting. ## Message Base Management The `mb` command provides various Message Base related tools: ``` usage: oputil.js mb [] actions: areafix CMD1 CMD2 ... ADDR sends an AreaFix NetMail to ADDR with the supplied command(s) one or more commands may be supplied. commands that are multi part such as "%COMPRESS ZIP" should be quoted. import-areas PATH import areas using fidonet *.NA or AREAS.BBS file from PATH import-areas args: --conf CONF_TAG conference tag in which to import areas --network NETWORK network name/key to associate FTN areas --uplinks UL1,UL2,... one or more comma separated uplinks --type TYPE area import type. valid options are "bbs" and "na" ``` | Action | Description | Examples | |-----------|-------------------|---------------------------------------| | `import-areas` | Imports areas using a FidoNet style *.NA or AREAS.BBS formatted file. Optionally maps areas to FTN networks. | `./oputil.js config import-areas /some/path/l33tnet.na` | When using the `import-areas` action, you will be prompted for any missing additional arguments described in "import-areas args".
