Revision as of 23:38, 13 September 2010

The SMSCON Editor is a graphical user interface to the configuration file of the SMSCON. It has been build with PyQT.

With its assistance the user is able to edit from a GUI all the options and name the commands used for controlling the device by the SMSCON and stored at the configuration file, i.e. /usr/bin/smscon_config. In addition, it provides an interface to initialise (i.e. init, start, stop, reset and set/remove from the device's boot sequence) the smscon_daemon.
