NAME
checkbox, checkbox-cli, checkbox-urwid, checkbox-gtk - Application for system testing
SYNOPSIS
checkbox
[OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
Checkbox provides tests to confirm that your system is working
properly. Once you are finished running the tests, you can view
a summary report for your system.
OPTIONS
- -c config, --config=config
-
Configuration override parameters.
- -l file, --log=file

The file to write the log to.
- --log-level
-
One of debug, info, warning, error or critical.
- --version

Print version information and exit.
- --help
-

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The behavior of
checkbox
is affected by the following environment variables.
The locale for category
LC_foo
is specified by examining the three environment variables
LC_ALL,
LC_foo,
LANG,
in that order.
The first of these variables that is set specifies the locale.
For example, if
LC_ALL
is not set, but
LC_MESSAGES
is set to
pt_BR,
then the Brazilian Portuguese locale is used for the
LC_MESSAGES
category.
The C locale is used if none of these environment variables are set,
if the locale catalog is not installed.
- CHECKBOX_OPTIONS
-
This variable specifies default options
to be placed in front of any explicit options.
For example, if
CHECKBOX_OPTIONS
is
'--log-level=debug',
checkbox
behaves as if the option had been specified before any explicit options.
Option specifications are separated by whitespace.
A backslash escapes the next character,
so it can be used to specify an option containing whitespace or a backslash.
- CHECKBOX_DATA
-
Specifies the directory containing variable data such as persisting state for example.
Some plugins in
checkbox
might also choose to store their own data under that directory.
- CHECKBOX_SHARE
-
This variable specifies the directory containing shared files such as
plugins and jobs for example.
It might also contain static files used by plugins such as data files and scripts.
FILES
- /etc/checkbox.d/checkbox.ini

The base
checkbox
configuration file.

-
