kernel

SeisComP kernel.

Description

The kernel is the basic configuration for the seiscomp tool. It contains configuration parameters for all init scripts in etc/init. Each init script can, but does not need to, read the kernel parameters and configure itself accordingly. Kernel parameters are not mandatory but should be taken as (serious) hints. If for example syslog is enabled in the kernel then all init scripts should configure syslog as logging backend for the programs they start. But if a program does not support syslog it can also be started without logging to syslog.

Configuration

Note

kernel is a standalone module and does not inherit global options.

etc/kernel.cfg

~/.seiscomp3/kernel.cfg

messaging extension

SeisComP messaging component that enables communication of modules over the network.
