# jazipconfig(8)

jazip(1) configuration tool.

## NAME

jazipconfig - [jazip(1)](/jazip/1.md) configuration tool.

## SYNOPSIS

**jazipconfig** *\[--non-interactive\]*

## DESCRIPTION

The **jazipconfig** script is a tool to easily build the  **/etc/jazip.conf** file for the configuration of  [*jazip*(1)](/jazip/1.md)

## OPTIONS

The optional  *--non-interactive* command line parameter instructs  **jazipconfig** to do what it can to build a /etc/jazip.conf file without prompting the user.  On Debian systems, the command is invoked this way by the jazip package post-installation script.

In this non-interactive mode, the script looks through  **/proc/scsi/scsi** for detected  *Zip* or *Jaz* devices.  If it find any, it looks up  **/etc/fstab** to see if it can find already specified mount points for them.  If  (and only if) it finds mount points, it writes the device and mount  point to  **/etc/jazip.conf**

## INTERACTIVE USE

If no command line options are provided,  **jazipconfig** runs interactively.  In this case, it also looks through  **/proc/scsi/scsi** for detected  *Zip* or *Jaz* devices.  If it find any, it looks up  **/etc/fstab** to see if it can find already specified mount points for them.   Then it creates a user menu which you can use to create the **/etc/jazip.conf** file.

## NOTES

The first entry listed in  **/etc/jazip.conf** is the  *default* device used when  **jazip** is called without an argument.
