1 README for Galeb 2.2 Apr 27 2023 2 ==================== 3 4 This is a short introduction to Galeb. This document is currently shown in a 5 text pager less(1). To view it from the command prompt, type 6 7 less README.1st 8 9 To quit viewing it, press 'q'. You should first familiarize yourself with using 10 less(1) by invoking the command 11 12 man less 13 14 at the command prompt, or, without exiting this instance of less, by typing 15 16 !man less 17 18 and pressing Enter. If not already, also read `man man` and `man intro`. Keep in 19 mind that the latter has information pertaining to mainstream systems (which 20 are, for example, using GNU Bash as a shell), so some of the information won't 21 be applicable. Also consider `man mksh` and `man 8 service`. 22 23 Galeb uses simpler programs in many cases. Here is the list of topics (or tasks) 24 and programs corresponding to them in Galeb. To view, for example, manual page 25 for svc(8), you should type 26 27 man 8 svc 28 29 and so on. 30 31 Topic Manpage(s) 32 -------------------------------------------------------- 33 cron service dcron: crontab(1), crond(8) 34 DHCP sdhcp(1) 35 File manager* noice(1) 36 File transfer curl(1) 37 Init system sinit(8) 38 Logging service metalog(8) 39 Mail client* neomutt(1), s-nail: mail(1) 40 Mail Transfer Agent* isync: mbsync(1) 41 Package manager mkpk(8) 42 Password management pass 43 Privilege escalation doas(1), su(1) 44 RSS parser/reader* sfeed(1), sfeed_curses(1) 45 SSH dbclient(1), dropbearkey(1), 46 scp, dropbear(8) 47 Service management rc.conf(5), service(8), svc(8) 48 Shell lksh(1), mksh(1), rc(1) 49 Terminal multiplexer tmux(1) 50 Text editor sled(1), vim(1) 51 Web browser elinks(1) 52 -------------------------------------------------------- 53 * = Installed separately 54 55 Galeb uses programs from suckless sbase, ubase and 9base, which differ from 56 complicated GNU programs. If you have some experience with using mainstream 57 systems, make sure to check manual pages for some of the basic utilities, such 58 as cat(1), cp(1), mv(1), rm(1), awk(1), find(1), grep(1), sed(1) and so on, 59 because their parameters and calling conventions are different, closer to the 60 intention of the original authors. 61 62 Also see: 63 64 man 8 galeb 65 66 for a brief overview of the system, or documents in /share/doc/howtos for guides 67 on specific topics.
