# fai-do-scripts(1)

call configuration scripts

## NAME

fai-do-scripts - call configuration scripts

## SYNOPSIS

**fai-do-scripts** \[OPTION\] *DIRECTORY*

## DESCRIPTION

This command is only called internally by FAI and not directly by the user.

fai-do-scripts executes all scripts in DIRECTORY which are also a defined class. If the name of the class is a directory, all scripts that match \`\<CLASSNAME\>/^\[0-9\]\[0-9\].\*' (starting with two digits) in this directory are executed.  It is possible to have several scripts of different types (shell, python, ruby, cfengine,...) be executed for one class.

## OPTIONS

- **-h**

  Show help, version and summary of options.

- **-L DIR**

  Write log files to DIR.

- **-n**

  Show type of scripts that would be executed, but do not execute them.

## EXAMPLES

In FAI, fai-do-scripts is used in the following way:

   \# fai-do-scripts /fai/scripts

## NOTES

The output of the scripts is also written to $LOGDIR/scripts.log. The file $LOGDIR/status.log lists all scripts executed and if they finished with success or failure.

If the variable $FAI\_USE\_OLD\_SCRIPT\_LOGS is set to 1, the old style log file names (different name for every type of script) are used. This may be removed in the future.

## SEE ALSO

This program is part of FAI (Fully Automatic Installation). The FAI homepage is http:///fai-project.org.
